What is it like to run a nonprofit newsroom, relying on members to help keep the publications free? Why is it important to be impartial and to provide a balance of issues and views? How can local nonprofit media present a full picture for readers, giving them the tools to be more thoughtful, productive and engaged citizens?

You will find the answers to these and more questions at the public lecture by Texas Tribune — the only member-supported, digital-first, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. The Texas Tribune aims to promote civic engagement through original, explanatory journalism and public events. The media organization believes that promoting greater civic engagement and informing discourse is a direct route to a better and more productive Texas.

Ayan Mittra, the editor at The Texas Tribune, and Julian Aguilar, the immigration and border security reporter, will talk about their nonprofit media organization and answer your questions.

Anyone who is a media manager, editor, journalist or just interested in publishing initiatives, as well as those who are eager to start their independent media will most certainly benefit from this event.

Please remember to bring your passport or driver's license.
