When Evan Smith helped launch the nonprofit Texas Tribune in 2009, he set out to get people engaged in their government again, especially in places where newspaper coverage has dwindled. The Tribune introduced blogs, multimedia, troves of government data, and something old-fashioned for an online news startup: face-to-face conversations.
The Texas Tribune invites you to join us for coffee and conversation with State Sen. Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo), chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee.
