AUSTIN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING PROJECT

We seek to advance the cause of democracy, freedom of information and open government. The Austin Bulldog is nonprofit, nonpartisan and non-advocacy. We will question authority. We will go where the facts lead us and report accordingly.

The Austin Bulldog is dedicated to hard-nosed journalism covering topics that matter. Our primary focus is almost entirely on what’s happening in our hometown, the city of Austin, Texas, although we will occasionally cover important stories on the outskirts. We will investigate matters involving government, media, politics, and anything else warranting close scrutiny that’s within our resources. We will strive to be an important source of news on the topics we cover.

The Austin Bulldog is headed by its founder, a dedicated full-time investigative reporter and editor with more than 33 years experience and winner of two national awards for investigative reporting.

While progress has resulted in significant governmental reforms by the agencies investigated our growth as an organization capable of more far reaching investigations and involving more government agencies has been hamstrung by a lack of fundraising to move the organization toward sustainability.
