A New Model for Journalism

A Texan's Map of the United States

A couple of journalists moved to Tyler, a small town in east Texas, and started a website devoted to local news. They seem to be making a success of it. Tyler is a university town, and so is Nacogdoches, so despite it's reputation, there is some intelligence there.

I lived in Houston for a couple of years and I wasn't impressed. Actually, I thought it was pretty wretched. But then I wasn't making enough money to pay for air conditioning, so yeah, pretty miserable. But there is the oil business and where there's oil, there's money, and where there's money there's gonna be people.
