Since 1954
Loren Lynch is the interim executive director. She comes to the Observer from The Trace, where she was the first director of development, established their membership and major gifts programs, and oversaw all organizational fundraising efforts. This is a return to the Observer for Loren, as prior to The Trace, she was with the TO for more than four years, directing fundraising programs and assisting with overall publication strategy. Loren began her career as part of the development team at The Nation magazine, where her responsibilities included digital fundraising and creative strategy and managing special revenue programs and events. She holds bachelor’s degrees in English and philosophy and an MA in international affairs with a focus on media and culture from The New School in New York City.
A strong and clear editorial vision, committed to the values we’ve upheld at the Texas Observer for 70 years, is critical to not only the future of our organization, but the future of Texas and all who live here.
Texan Taylor Sheridan created the 21st-century Western, but his attempts at political nuance are overshadowed by the failures of “Soldado.”
