About Houston Heights Independent.

Houston Heights Independent is a civic journalism outlet built the way local news used to be built — from inside the neighborhood, not from a newsroom somewhere else looking in. HHI operates on the Murrow standard: go to where the story is, see it firsthand, and come back and tell people what's actually there. No aggregation, no wire-service rewrites. If it runs in HHI, someone from HHI was there.

What we cover. The Heights, Woodland Heights, Norhill, Sunset Heights, Independent Heights, Henderson Heights, West Heights, Buffalo Heights, Brooke Smith, Shady Acres, and the neighborhoods that ring them — that's home base. But the reporting doesn't stop at a zip code line. When there's a story worth firsthand coverage, HHI follows it, whether that's a city investigation, a courtroom, or a highway shoulder outside Lockhart. Investigations, breaking news, neighborhood institutions, and the quieter stories about the people and places that make the Heights worth living in all run side by side here.

A REAL NEWS HOUND!!!!!!
