The 19th, sometimes stylized The 19th*, is a nonprofit, independent news organization based in Austin, Texas. It was founded in 2020 by CEO Emily Ramshaw and publisher Amanda Zamora, both former Texas Tribune staffers who served as editor-in-chief and chief audience officer, respectively. The organization is named after the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote, reflecting its mission "to empower women—particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media—with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy." Ramshaw has said its coverage will initially be, "presidential politics, women and Congress, the women's electorate, women's health, women and the economy, and women and the states." The asterisk used in the stylized name is intended to indicate the organization's view that the Nineteenth Amendment is "unfinished business" as, in practice, the passing of the amendment mainly benefited white women.
