Our team includes some of New Mexico’s most-awarded and respected journalists and rising stars in local news reporting. Meet the team working to tell New Mexico’s local stories you can’t find anywhere else.
We are committed to growing opportunities for journalists, especially those lucky enough to call New Mexico home, to develop local news reporting skills.
We are committed to paying journalists a living wage, providing benefits to help them support their well-being and grow their professional skills, and to providing pathways for student and early-career journalists to develop a love for local news.

Student Journalists.
We believe that building the next generation of journalists is critical to sustaining local news.
Each semester, we pair a journalism student from a New Mexico college or university journalism program with a mentor journalists in our newsroom to cover a beat together.
Our annual student journalism program is supported by a generous grant from Singleton Schreiber and other donors through the Citizen Media Group, a local nonprofit working to expand opportunities for journalism in New Mexico.
Our summer student internship program is supported by the New Mexico Local News Fund.
