This ombudsperson’s for you
Thursday, July 14, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
The Austin Monitor would like to welcome Texas Observer editor Forrest Wilder as our new ombudsperson! For those of you who don’t know, Wilder will serve as an independent, unpaid observer charged with handling ethical concerns for us. Wilder will replace Jason Cherkis, who had served in that role since August 2014. (Thanks, Cherkis!)
