Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
There's a press conference tomorrow at the Texas Medical Center to discuss the "strong progress" being made by Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords as she recovers from her shooting.
There may be a more dramatic announcement: Fox News is reportingthat they confirmed today that Giffords will attend the shuttle launch of her husband, Mark Kelly, in April.
Such a move has been talked about as Giffords' recovery has gained momentum, but it would still be somewhat of a surprise. And quite the media event, of course.
No official word has been forthcoming from her staff, however, so for now it remains unconfirmed.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
