	H.C.R. No. 26



	HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, Stewart Doreen retired as editor of the Midland
	Reporter-Telegram at the end of 2023, following a noteworthy
	29-year career with the newspaper; and
	WHEREAS, In January 1995, Mr. Doreen joined the
	Reporter-Telegram and covered a Midland High School basketball game
	as his first assignment; he went on to write thousands of articles,
	reporting on a wide range of matters, from sports to government and
	the energy industry; in covering city hall, he strove to be a
	watchdog for the interests of his fellow citizens; and
	WHEREAS, After serving as managing editor, he was named
	editor of the paper and guided it skillfully through today's
	rapidly evolving media environment; its print and online
	circulation reached an eight-year high under his leadership, with
	hundreds of thousands of visits to its mrt.com website every month;
	and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Doreen has been an ardent champion of Midland,
	raising awareness of its exceptional people, thriving business
	sector, and vibrant nonprofit and educational organizations; in
	recognition of his contributions, the mayor proclaimed
	December 21, 2023, as Stewart Doreen Day; and
	WHEREAS, Since retiring from the paper, Mr. Doreen has served
	as strategic communications officer for the City of Midland, and he
	has brought a wealth of experience and deep knowledge to his
	position; as he continues to take on the exciting challenges of his
	new role, he may indeed reflect with pride on his many
	accomplishments to date; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby congratulate Stewart Doreen on his retirement as editor of
	the Midland Reporter-Telegram and extend to him sincere best wishes
	for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Doreen as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives and Senate.
