Analysis / Bias
Community Impact publishes original reporting on the communities they serve. Articles and headlines use minimal emotional wording such as this Vacancy rates climb for fifth straight quarter in Northwest Austin. Like all we reviewed, this article is properly sourced to firsthand accounts, interviews, and credible sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Community Impact does not publish op-eds and heavily focuses on business news such as this Texas State Optical celebrates one year of business in Buda. Finally, the websites provide news on local government written with a neutral tone, such as this John Escoto sworn in to Shenandoah City Council. In general, the news is reported factually and with minimal bias.
