Fort Bend Independent
Fort Bend Independent, a paid subscription paper, and Independent News as a weekly community newspaper serve major portions of Fort Bend County. The Independent is supported by local community members and was conceived by an experienced journalist with decade long contacts and professional experience with the Fort Bend communities. The Independent promises to be a valuable supplement for people who rely on the media for information. The editor and publisher is Seshadri Kumar, a journalist with more than 30 years of local and international experience in Fort Bend, the US, India and the Middle East. After nearly a decade as both a reporter and editor of the Fort Bend Sun, I began contributing articles to the neighborhood news section of the Houston Chronicle until the formation of Fort Bend Independent. I am also the editor and partner of India Herald, a weekly newspaper serving the Indian community in the Houston area. —SESHADRI KUMAR, PUBLISHER & EDITOR
