In review, local news is covered through journalists with neutral wording such as this: Texas Tech system officials promote legislative agenda in Austin. National and World are derived from the Associated Press. All information is appropriately sourced. The Globe News has a history of mainly endorsing Republican candidates; however, their op-ed page is mostly balanced in presenting both views.
