About Houston
Our Journey and Mission
Houston was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant city of Houston and its surrounding areas. We aim to bridge the information gap that often exists in the digital landscape by delivering accurate, unbiased, and engaging content tailored to our community.
Our Story
The idea for Houston stemmed from a growing need for a local news source that understood the unique dynamics of Houston. We recognized that while the internet is a vast resource, it often lacks in-depth, reliable local news coverage. With a dedicated team of journalists and content creators, we set out to fill this void.
Over the years, Houston has marked several milestones:
- 2018: We launched our website, introducing Houston to the digital news arena.
- 2019: Houston received its first major industry award for excellence in local reporting.
- 2020: We expanded our team and introduced a weekly podcast, covering diverse topics relevant to Houston residents.
- 2022: Houston celebrated its 5-year anniversary, solidifying its position as a trusted news platform.
