Supporting local journalists restoring accountability and engagement to local government across New Mexico.
Coming soon (and please be patient)! Beginning in the spring of 2025, our nonprofit newsrooms are transitioning to a shared news service to provide local news outlets statewide with better coverage of politics and policy impacting New Mexico. Look for more information coming in July 2025.

What we do.
Although almost all of us follow some news about policy and politics today, most of us know very little about the decisions closest to us: our city, county and state governments.
To fill the information gap left by shrinking newsrooms, we use a civic journalism model for sharing community information. That means we don’t just report on local politics, policy, and community challenges—we cover how people are solving them (or not), and how readers can join in.
About us.
By journalists. For journalists.
The Citizen Media Group works to preserve and expand journalism in New Mexico as a critical tool for democracy.
Our programs focus on teaching local government reporting through civics education, career mentorship and by developing civic engagement tools that connect residents to their government through journalism.

Coming soon!
