The Dallas Express

The Dallas Express (DE) is a daily news outlet focused on providing general interest coverage of the happenings, events, and people in Dallas and Dallas County. We launched DE in 2021 to address a significant gap in our local communities for reliable, fact-driven news without opinion. Our commitment is to report news objectively, highlighting facts without any bias. While our articles may be straightforward or even tough, they will never be manipulated or colored by the personal beliefs of our reporters or editors. These principles guide our work, and we welcome feedback if you ever feel we are falling short of them. Recent Gallup polls show that trust in media is at a record low, with only nine percent of adults expressing a high level of confidence in their news sources. Our goal is to reverse this trend within the communities we serve, aiming to earn the trust of Dallas readers. Additionally, The Dallas Express does not accept funding from any U.S. or foreign governments or their agencies.
