The 19th is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization based in Austin, Texas established in 2020.[1] It was co-founded by CEO Emily Ramshaw and publisher Amanda Zamora, both former Texas Tribune staffers who served as editor-in-chief and chief audience officer, respectively.
The organization is named after the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, reflecting its mission "to empower women — particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media — with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy."[2]
Other executives include Johanna Derlega, chief revenue officer and was formerly at The Hill and National Journal; Errin Haines, editor-at-large, and former national writer on race for The Associated Press; and Andrea Valdez, editor-in-chief, and previously at the Texas Observer, WIRED.com and Texas Monthly.[3][4]
