The Dallas Morning News and the Houston Chronicle both announced new editors this week -- and both are women of color. The Dallas Morning News and the Houston Chronicle are the two biggest newspapers in Texas.
The Dallas Morning News named as its Executive Editor the veteran journalist Katrice Hardy. She arrives fresh from the Indianapolis Star, which just won a Pulitzer winner for national news reporting. She starts mid-August.
The Houston Chronicle's new Executive Editor is Maria Douglas Reeve, who has been the paper's managing editor for close to two years. Reeves oversaw coverage of the COVID pandemic, the historic oil bust and the Texas blackouts — all while managing a remote staff. She has served as a Pulitzer Prize juror and has been active in the National Association of Black Journalists.
So when is the Austin Statesman going to catch up? [Checks watch.] Get with it, people!
