Robert Rivard is the founder and director of the Rivard Report, a nonprofit, nonpartisan local news and information site that connects engaged citizens in San Antonio.

The Rivard Report celebrated its fourth year of publication in February and now has 10 fulltime employees, as well as a growing number of freelance contributors. It also serves as a publishing platform for people from all walks of life in the community to share their stories and commentaries.

Bob was the longtime editor of the Express-News until 2011, and a foreign correspondent and senior editor for Newsweek magazine before that. He is the author of the nonfiction book “Trail of Feathers,” that chronicles the disappearance and murder of Express-News reporter Philip True in Mexico, and Rivard’s years-long pursuit of his killers in that country’s corrupt justice system.
