The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is a daily newspaper published by McClatchy, serving North Texas since 1906. Its reporters cover Tarrant County government, transportation, education and the region’s logistics and aerospace economy. The paper combines quick, reliable breaking news with in-depth development, affordability and public safety features. Star-Telegram journalism has earned national recognition, including a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for its reporting on helicopter safety. Each issue highlights small-business trends, high school sports and arts that define Fort Worth’s identity. Service journalism helps residents navigate property taxes, infrastructure projects and extreme weather. Readers appreciate the paper’s maps, FAQs and step-by-step guides that translate policy into everyday impact. Editorials argue from evidence and welcome thoughtful counterpoints, and the tone is confident and practical, with concise writing and careful sourcing. As part of McClatchy’s Texas network, the Star-Telegram shares reporting when a story crosses county lines and stays rooted in Fort Worth when local context is most important.
