Austin's eagle eye for the story in transition

Longtime television reporter Jim Swift plans to stay with KXAN in Austin, despite the major reshaping of his popular features on that station's news programs. They are moved to a Sunday night slot instead of each night.

It is a shame his creativity is not shared more throughout the state and beyond. We would all get more out of the news and the world around us we too often overlook.

Jim Swift is a serious pro, even if the bearded appearance might make you think otherwise for an instant.
