In contrast to its maudlin, overlong recent project about people dying in the hospital–and then a few more people dying in the hospital–the DMN deserves big kudos for its current “State of Neglect” series, which is examining the connections among Texas business, politics and state services. I don’t know whether everything the series has turned up so far is truly as nefarious as portrayed. But “Neglect” is exactly the sort of diligent, hard-nosed, provocative undertaking that gives local/regional journalism a good name.

I believe EVERY newspaper in America should pick up that series and run it. And they should byline it “FROM WIRE REPORTS.”
