Columnist

The Houston Chronicle is seeking a columnist to explore and explain Houston and the state of Texas to readers. We are looking for a dynamic writer to illuminate what it means to be a Texan. Ideal candidates will have knowledge of the city and Greater Houston, and a love of all things Texas. The columnist must be a strong writer with a voice that oozes Houston and Texas, and who won’t be content to simply riff off news events or to frame subjects in partisan terms. Instead, you will steep your work in original reporting to bolster arguments and promote solutions. You also won’t shy away from saying the unpopular but right thing. Houston is a complex city, filled with diverse communities, economic conditions and political interests. The Houston Chronicle is dedicated to informing and engaging its audience on all sides.
