Houston also has world-class visual and performing
arts organizations, along with a dose of homegrown folk art
that can't be found anywhere else in the world, such as Art
Cars. Houston ranks third, behind only New York City and San
Francisco, in the number of seats in its Downtown Theater District,
and Houston is widely recognized as the nation's third most
important city for contemporary visual art.
Houston has a variety of newspapers, with the Houston Chronicle
(which is the only major daily newspaper in Houston receiving
wide distribution) being read all across the South-Central United
States. Houston also is home to the TV stations and radio stations
that serve the metro area.
ABC-13 KTRK TV's Wayne Dolcefino released a controversial report
that allegedly showed bad business practices of a charity called
"Kid Care". Since then, the charity's donations dwindled,
leaving the owner fuming. The station also employs Marvin Zindler,
whose week-long exposé on the Chicken Ranch brothel later
became the basis for the Broadway musical The Best Little Whorehouse
in Texas.
KHOU-TV's team of "Defenders" began and lead a national
investigation on the failure of Firestone Wilderness AT tires
in several vehicles. These reports garnered the reporters and
the station national and international attention and awards.
