Cover, Dec. 14: “Gannett’s Gut Punch”
Undone at the seams
Without people who are committed to doing the work of telling the truth, and conveying it well, the seams of our social fabric come undone. It is important that there are journalists, as this story thoughtfully demonstrates. It is even more important that there are good journalists. What a coup, then, for SFR to have Andrew Oxford on staff. Even better for its readers and anybody who cares about New Mexico. Our state was less informed, and its important stories more imperfectly rendered, without him here. I’m sure I’m not alone in looking forward to more good stitching.

My heart
Good piece, if heartbreaking, on the lack of local news coverage in New Mexico.

Pull the ads
This has been going on for years—across the country. I’m a reformed journalist from the old school and worked for Gannett back in the ‘80s. Alamogordo has no local newspaper. It’s a [sham]. City government needs to pull its legal ads from Gannett and give them to a weekly. Gannett is killing journalism just as CNN, FOX and MSNBC have.

Food, Dec. 7: “To Drive or Not to Drive”
Incredible
Chef Graham is creating an incredible dining experience! The food is some of the best we have had in years. Definitely worth the visit and the inn is quite sweet!
