    NM Newsrooms Make Progress

    We’ve wrapped up our fourth Local News Accelerator program, with 17 newsrooms participating. This year, many publishers were able to move beyond surviving and toward thriving again. There are positive signs of progress and growth that we haven’t seen since before the pandemic.
