The Statesman is our major daily here in Austin and covers Central Texas, including political reporting. This paper tends to print articles from the Associated Press and other major newspapers for national and international coverage.
Coverage of local events can sometimes be found in national publications as well. Search using keywords related to the specific area and the topic (ex: Top ten percent law AND Texas).
Even if your topic is not directly covered in a non-local source, you can often find important information about larger issues or controversies related to your topic (ex: If your topic is the Texas top ten percent law, the larger issue is affirmative action in education).
