Dave Lieber, the consumer watchdog columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram who was laid off after 20 years at the paper in January, has been hired by the Dallas Morning News.
Lieber’s inaugural column with the Morning News will be published on Friday, May 31. His column will run every Friday and Sunday.
“Dave has one of the most trusted voices in North Texas and our newsroom is honored to have him here,” said Bob Mong, editor of The Dallas Morning News, in a statement. “For 20 years, people in Tarrant County knew they had an advocate, someone in their corner to help them solve problems with business or government. We’re lucky to have him, and we think readers across the region will feel likewise.”
Lieber won the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award in 2002 from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, for work that “best exemplifies the high ideals of the beloved philosopher-humorist who used his platform for the benefit of his fellow human beings.” Lieber is also a sought-after speaker, appearing in front of more than 100 audiences each year.
The Morning News, named Texas’ best newspaper by the Associated Press Managing Editors, added Mitchell Schnurman as a business columnist last year.
