New Mexico Political Report

New Mexico Political Report New Mexico's best and most comprehensive political reporting. Period. That means less reporting on the people and issues in politics affecting New Mexicans most.

Traditional news outlets are shrinking their newsroom staffs and, while government and social issues grow more complex, political and feature reporters are often the first to be let go. So we are doing something about it. We assembled some of New Mexico’s top political reporters to take an in-depth look at politics and how it impacts New Mexicans everyday. Launched in January 2015, NM Political Report is a brand-new online news platform focused on political news, in-depth analysis of critical issues, and the community voices of amazingly smart, talented people like you. The news side – an independent not-for-profit project of the ProgressNow NM Education Fund (the publisher enjoys no editorial control over content)– is run by seasoned journalists Matthew Reichbach, Joey Peters and Andy Lyman. NM Political Report is built to deliver real news as fast as it happens in the digital age. Our cutting edge platform allows us to share new stories in real time and engage readers however they chose to access it online. Facebook and Twitter integrations allow readers to comment in real-time, often right alongside decision makers and the reporters covering them. What’s your issue? What irks you? What elates you? What will you write?

Column: The Haaland-Hull debate over debates is dumb. Here’s how to do it better: Instead of letting candidates run out a clock with canned answers, have them sit down with real journalists to answer questions and share the interviews with every news outlet so everyone can see, side-by-side, how they answer.
