We founded DX in 2021 to fill a void in our Metroplex communities for fact-based, non-opinion news. We believe that news should be reported dispassionately to place emphasis on facts over all else. News reports can be direct and even hard-edged, but they should never be “spun” or carry editorial opinions to suit the political persuasions of our reporters or editors. These are some of our guiding principles. We hope to hear from you if you believe at any point that we are not living up to them. Trust in media is at an all-time low, according to Gallup polls. Only nine percent of adults say they have “a great deal” of trust in their news providers. Our mission is to turn this trend around in the communities we cover. We want Dallas readers to be able to place their trust in us. The Dallas Express does not receive contributions from the United States or foreign governments or government agencies.
