AUSTIN — The Texas Newspaper Foundation has selected four exemplary journalists — William Blair Jr., Randy Mankin, Frank Mayborn and Burl Osborne — for induction into the Texas Newspaper Foundation Hall of Fame in June.
The induction ceremony will take place during the Texas Press Association 2026 Convention and Trade Show Hall of Fame banquet at Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport at 11:45 a.m. Friday, June 19.
A selection committee met in April to select the inductees. The Austin-based Texas Newspaper Foundation created the Hall of Fame in 2006 to induct as many as four individuals annually. Inductees have been credited with outstanding achievements and contributions to the newspaper industry and to their communities. The first four — Roy Eaton, Alfred H. Belo, James Roberts and Staley McBrayer — were inducted in January 2007.
