Congratulations to Tom Homan, who President-Elect Donald Trump announced will serve as the nation’s “border czar” in the incoming administration. Homan’s appointment comes in the wake of four years of chaos at America’s borders, during which record numbers of unvetted illegal aliens entered the country. We stand firmly behind the next administration’s efforts to disrupt the flow of human trafficking, combat the drug epidemic, and dismantle the violent cartels fueling it all.

Online newspapers and other electronic outlets that used to speak with authority are broken. Americans aren’t paying attention to any of them anymore. And the?legacy media?isn’t coming back. It’s no longer a matter of hiring more independent-minded and conservative journalists—or, in language the heads of journalism schools might be more accustomed to: hiring journalists that?look more like America. Hiring decisions aren’t going to redeem the news media, because it hasn’t abandoned conservativism; it has abandoned journalism. Now it’s time for us independent and conservative journalists to work together. Think of The Associated Press, without the wokeness. That’s the idea behind a Texas Public Policy Foundation project called the Associated News Service. The Associated News Service will have three components: content sharing among members, collaboration among news organizations, and professional development. Member organizations may share as much or as little of their content as they like; if they want to keep a piece as an exclusive, they’re free to do so. Editors may pull as much content as they like from the wire to run. And because member organizations will sign on to our statement of standards and ethics, editors can be sure that the material from other ANS members will be up to their standards. People still want the news—news they can trust. And there are news outlets throughout the country that haven’t surrendered to wokeness and activism. The Associated News Service will come alongside them and help in their efforts to deliver the news fairly and impartially.

Citizens are facing too many hurdles when requesting information about their government, resulting in a lack of confidence in public institutions. We deserve to know how our tax dollars are being used.
