Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Pardon us, Friend, while we indulge in some self-congratulatory navel-gazing. The story “Split Decision," Matt Pulle’s incisive feature for the paper version of Unfair Park about Dallas’ embarrassing scrape with the feds over Preston Hollow Elementary School's deliberate segregation, has been nationally recognized in the lofty annals of legal writing.
Nominated as exemplary legal writing by the Green Bag online law journal, Matt'se not in bad company with the likes of Anthony Lewis, Adam Liptak and Linda Greenhouse of The New York Times, Walter Dellings of Slate and the The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin. Oh, and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. --Megan Feldman
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
