To our readers and supporters:
Today, May 15, 2025, Houston Landing says goodbye.
After more than two years of producing independent, nonpartisan, deeply reported journalism, we have ceased operations due to financial challenges. While this outcome is disappointing, I also feel an immense amount of gratitude and pride in what our team built and accomplished.
When Houston Landing launched in February 2023, we set out to make Houston better, one story at a time. Since then, we’ve published thousands of stories that reached millions of readers, spotlighting issues that matter most to Houstonians.
This final chapter has been among our most meaningful. In just the last month, our newsroom was honored with dozens of awards and recognitions — celebrating the courage, integrity and impact of our reporting. These honors affirm what we’ve always known: outstanding journalism can spark change, uncover truth and transform communities.
We are deeply proud of what we built. But more than anything, we’re grateful for your trust, readership and belief in our mission.
Though this is goodbye, we know the work will live on in every journalist who refuses to look away and in every reader who demands better.
With sincere gratitude,
Peter Bhatia, CEO, Houston Landing
