Chron's Stiles assumes new role
Carolyn Feibel posts that reporter Matt Stiles will be moving on from the City Hall beat to a wider-ranging role at the Chronicle:
Yes, folks, the rumors are true. Matt has moved on from the City Hall beat. Or so he claims. But he's going to keep his stick in the fire -- as the Chronicle's government watchdog reporter here in Houston, he'll be reporting on city, county and even state government and doing what he does best: keeping our taxpayer-funded officials and workers on their toes.
Congratulations to Stiles, who has already done his fair share of this type of reporting on the City Hall beat and will no doubt produce some excellent local journalism now that he has the watchdog remit.
It's also a nice move by the Chronicle, which could do a much better job at this sort of reporting in the area -- especially Harris County. We are pretty sure Stiles will not be imitating some of his colleagues at 801 Texas Avenue, whose idea of watchdog reporting seems to be following around the local TV guys.
