True or False: Fact-Checking Texas Politics in (Pants) on Fire


W. Gardner Selby, who sometimes strolls in to watch July 4 fireworks from the High Road’s parking lot, is the Austin American-Statesman reporter who writes and edits fact checks of officeholders, candidates and others for PolitiFact Texas, which brings together reporters and editors for the Statesman, Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News. 
He’ll talk about how the Statesman launched the first state-level version of the Pulitzer-winning PolitiFact project. 
IN ADVANCE, Gardner asks that everyone get on Twitter.com and follow the @PolitiFactTexas account.
