Fort Worth Report (FWR) is a nonprofit news media outlet covering local government, business, education and arts in the city of Fort Worth, Texas.
Overview
The organization, founded by local business leaders and former Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher Wes Turner,[1] announced its intentions in February 2021 and officially launched the newsroom in April 2021.[2][3] Since its launch in response to declines and cuts at other local news organizations,[4] FWR has added staff and expanded to provide radio news content through a collaboration with KERA News.[5]
The founding CEO, editor and publisher was Chris Cobler, who had a 44-year news career featuring many honors such as the Associated Press Managing Editor's Robert McGruder Award for Diversity Leadership and the Texas Managing Editors Association's Jack Douglas Award honoring a lifetime of service to journalism. He resigned in April 2026 after his mother's surgery to treat brain cancer. https://www.bushcenter.org/publications/fort-worth-report-journalism-as-part-of-the-solution https://ajrarchive.org/Article.asp?id
Union
In March 2026, FWR's staff voted to form a union.[6] The Fort Worth Reporters Guild, which is affiliated with the NewsGuild-CWA, cited "inconsistent standards, heavy and ever-shifting workloads, and retaliatory management" as reasons for their members' decision to unionize.[7]
