Who covers San Angelo
We are not a newsroom and we do not pretend to be one. We file records requests and publish documents. The reporting that made this project possible was done by four newsrooms, three of them operating on shrinking budgets. Read them. Subscribe to them.
We link out. We do not copy, scrape, mirror, or republish other outlets' articles. Headlines below are pointers, not content — every one goes straight to the original publisher.
The outlets
SanAngeloLive
The most aggressive local coverage of the data center and the recall campaigns, plus a daily video newscast. Sections are unusually granular — separate beats for county, crime, politics, business, and San Angelo proper.

San Angelo Standard-Times
The city's daily paper of record. Most coverage sits behind a paywall; syndicated versions often surface on Yahoo News and AOL if you cannot subscribe.
34 W Harris Ave, San Angelo TX 76903
FOX West Texas
One newsroom covering both San Angelo and Abilene, so local depth is thinner — but broadcast coverage moves fast on breaking city stories.
KTXS
Covers San Angelo from Abilene. Filed useful reporting on the data center water hearings and the mayoral recall signature drive.
The Concho Observer
Smaller independent outlet. Has published useful analytical pieces on the city's water position, including a widely-cited breakdown of the core water questions.
