The short answers
Is The Texas Tribune biased?

Is The Texas Tribune left or right?

Is The Texas Tribune reliable?
The factuality data this site ingests describes The Texas Tribune as very high factuality. It reaches us without a named assessor, so it is an unattributed rating rather than our verdict. It does not guarantee that every report is correct.
Who says so
The lean above is carried in the coverage data this site ingests, which names no rater for it. We publish it because it is what the rest of the site groups The Texas Tribune on, and we will not present it as an assessment by anyone in particular until we hold one.
How reliably it reports fact
A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as The Texas Tribune, also publishing from United States, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
