Poynter Online interviews KHOU about "Under Fire" investigation

Interesting read about KHOU Channel 11's Texas National Guard story in Al Tompkins Morning Meeting column for Poynter:

For two years, KHOU-TV's Mark Greenblatt has been investigating and reporting allegations that top officials in the Texas National Guard have discriminated against women. These were top ranking, highly decorated women.

The TV station's "Under Fire" investigation went beyond discrimination allegations to include widespread abuse of guard funds, which a female colonel had raised questions about. Eventually, the state's governor stepped in and removed several top generals from power. One of the new generals put in their place, by the way, is a woman. READ THE REST


KHOU's executive producer for investigations David Raziq is also interviewed. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
