#supportNMnews
Local news is in a crisis around the country, and in New Mexico in particular. New Mexico has 4 counties with no newspapers and 22 counties with only one newspaper, according to “news deserts” research at the University of North Carolina. When communities lack trusted news sources, they are less civically engaged, which is a threat to democracy.
