Houston Landing content is free with no paywalls or subscription fees to ensure that its high-quality journalism reaches as many people as possible. It also allows other news media to freely republish its content.

We've added 22 new staff members to our team of top talent from all corners of the country. We are a diverse mix of reporters, editors, producers, finance, and product leaders. With numerous other positions still to be filled, The Landing is well on its way to becoming one of the largest local news nonprofits in the country," noted Houston Landing Editor-in-Chief Mizanur Rahman.
