A Regional Meeting of the Minds
“The launch of the New Mexico Mercury is the latest step in a journey that began at a community meeting in Albuquerque more than four years ago aimed at saving the Albuquerque Tribune. That’s where the two of us began asking ourselves what the media landscape would look like in a ‘one-newspaper town’ with that paper having a decidedly conservative bent.”
That was written in 2013 in the Mercury’s first post. For the next few years, the New Mexico Mercury featured an array of voices from over 200 talented and thoughtful New Mexico contributors, long-form content, poetry and a video interview series that went deep with public servants, academics, activists, artists and more. It was truly a labor of love. We are extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish and eternally grateful to our supporting readers and the community of writers that made this endeavor possible.
We hope you enjoy the archives.
