Dallas Media Collaborative

The Dallas Free Press has had an impactful 2023, with a renewed commitment to racial equity, the launch of the Dallas Documenters program, an expansion to Lincoln High School, increased partnerships with local media, and an expanding and resilient team.

Dallas Free Press was named one of Big D's best news outlets by D Magazine and is working with other local newsrooms to tackle civic issues, while also raising funds to support their Report for America corps member Jeffrey Ruiz.

The Dallas Free Press has been recognized for its local journalism efforts, including its coronavirus coverage, text message service, and new publisher of the year, and has partnered with local media outlets to provide coverage of South Dallas and West Dallas.

The key partners on the project say affordable housing is a topic none of them has been able to consistently address on their own — but it’s a vital, systemic issue demanding greater response.
