Good afternoon, Houston!
I was excited to learn three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lisa Falkenberg would be writing again regularly after a seven-year stint as the Chronicle's opinion editor.
Falkenberg has covered Texas for 25 years and is one of the great columnists of our generation.
In her re-introductory piece as senior columnist, Falkenberg says she plans to dabble in many subjects: criminal justice, education, politics, culture wars, civil liberties, etc.
One of her journalism super powers I've always admired from afar was how well she tackled competing ideas at one time, which should be reflected in her new column and upcoming newsletter, Freethink. Sign up here.
"Good journalism doesn't live in comfortable places," Falkenberg writes. "It's found on the edge, at a crossroads, where two paths diverge."
Here's the rest of the news.
