Staff of progressive publication the Texas Observer launches GoFundMe to avert closure

A GoFundMe campaign to save the Texas Observer, a decades-old progressive publication scheduled for closure by its board, has raised nearly $170,000 in a single day. James Canup, the Observer's former managing director, shared the fundraiser Monday, saying he hoped to provide a "lifeline" to staff and journalists from the publication, which was founded in 1954. The campaign has a goal of $200,000.
