A brand-new news outlet is setting up shop in Fort Worth.
The Fort Worth Report will launch this year as a free, online news outlet focusing on government accountability, education and the arts.
The Report brought on Chris Cobler as CEO and publisher. He has had a long career as a newspaper editor, most recently at the Victoria Advocate.
