Resources/Sources: KERA

KERA, our local public broadcasting news station, has a news site that’s one of the more reliable sources for local metroplex news. The nice thing about KERA, along with their colleagues at the Fort Worth Report and its spin-off the Arlington Report, is that they cover not just the city news in Dallas and Fort Worth, but across the Metroplex and throughout the suburbs. They’re particularly important for researching elections and school district news outside DISD and FWISD.

KERA is an NPR station (along with its sister station, KXT, which is the Gen X music station) and so their biases are obvious. I don’t listen to them in the car–KXT is my station of choice–but their local news is NPR quality and I never hesitate to use the news I find there.
