Fort Worth Report

Fort Worth Report is a nonprofit news media outlet covering local government, business, education and arts in the city of Fort Worth, Texas. The organization, founded by local business leaders and former Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher Wes Turner, announced its intentions in February 2021 and officially launched the newsroom in April 2021. Since its launch in response to declines and cuts at other local news organizations, FWR has added staff and expanded to provide radio news content through a collaboration with KERA News.
The founding publisher and CEO is Chris Cobler, who previously led the Victoria Advocate and was slated to become managing editor of Poynter Online, a position he did not occupy due to attribution errors in news articles published under his leadership at The Greeley Tribune.
