A group of journalists has launched a Web site and training center devoted to investigating waste, fraud and corruption in government.


Texas Watchdog will publish original investigative reports focused on local and state government. Check back often at texaswatchdog.org.

The group will also teach the techniques of investigative journalism.

We will offer training sessions ranging from introductory workshops of a few hours to fellowships lasting three months. Fellowships are available for citizen journalists, bloggers, students, paid journalists and activists with diverse political views.

Watchdog is seeking input from residents, bloggers and journalists in
the mainstream media, anyone who is interested in making government
more accountable to the public. Texas Watchdog is building an advisory
board, and we would be delighted to hear from you.

Texas Watchdog is an independent, nonpartisan corporation. We are seeking nonprofit 501(c)3 status. Click to read more about us.
