Fort Worth is about six times the size of Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Fort Worth’s city manager has named the city’s new police chief. Joel Fitzgerald will be coming in from leading the police force in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Our series, “Surviving Ebola,” continues with the economic impact of the Ebola scare in Dallas. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas took the biggest financial hit, but there were people who made money.

 

And finally, North Texas actor Julio Caesar Cedillo got to work opposite Benecio Del Toro for the movie, “Sicaro.” He tells our Big Screen team about that experience.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
