Hey -- just in time for the elections... there is a new weekly newspaper being thrown on lawns in Fort Bend County. It's called the Fort Bend Independent and has an on-line version as well (click on link).
The Editor is Seshadri Kumar, who used to head up the Fort Bend Sun (which has become very thin and awfully pitiful looking these days.) A seasoned journalist, Kumar is known for being even-handed and fair. With the Sun going in the tank (it's new editor -- the third or fourth in the past year-- is an avowed liberal Democrat) and Bev "I hate Republicans" Carter still clinging to life at the Star, here's hoping this new rag gets some respect and some ad dollars. Fort Bend needs an independent news source for the masses.

Amazing how new News Papers pop up just in time for a primary...
I'm also not sure how "Independent" a news paper can be when it comes wrapped in a political advertisement.
