Welcome to the New Mexico News Map website.
We are a small team of researchers, working in the public interest, mapping and studying community information needs — and how they are (or aren’t) being met.
For greater detail, here is a piece published by the UNM News Service: UNM project mapping New Mexico’s local news landscape
When we are ready to publish, we’ll post our findings to this website.
Currently, we are completing the information gathering stage and moving into the analysis phase.
From November 2024 through May 2025, we ran two surveys, one for media outlets, one for community members. We also held five focus group meetings in communities around the state. In addition, we are using content analysis methods to evaluate the quantity and quality of local news that we find.
This builds upon national research and similar research in other states.
