The Texas Tribune has hired Paul Cobler to cover the state’s economy.
He started on Monday.
Cobler covered politics for the Houston Landing before it closed. He returned to Texas after covering city hall for The Advocate in Baton Rouge. During two-and-a-half years at the newspaper, he spearheaded local accountability reporting about a variety of topics and local agencies.
A University of Texas graduate from Victoria, Cobler previously worked in Washington, D.C., for the Dallas Morning News as a post-graduate fellow. His reporting on local and state politics has been published in newspapers across Texas.
