New Mexico In Depth (https://nmindepth.com/category/journalism/page/4/)
New Mexico In Depth explores what journalism is and what it should be. Here are recent posts that do just that.
COMMENTARY: It has been widely reported that Johnny Depp, in his role as Tonto in the new film “The Lone Ranger,” wants to challenge stereotypes about Native Americans, but Native media was limited to the role of sidekick to other media outlets this week.
COMMENTARY: When journalists focus repeatedly on tragic statistics and violence on reservations, we’re missing some of the best stories, and doing a disservice to New Mexico’s Native youth.
COMMENTARY: The Native America Project – as well as New Mexico In Depth in general – gives me the opportunity to try and break the habit of not listening well, and the opportunity to spend time with real people.
COMMENTARY: Reporting responsibly and fairly means acknowledging my ignorance, listening carefully and asking questions.
COMMENTARY: It’s so important that this project be more than a series of stories we write. It needs to be a conversation, and we want you to take part.
COMMENTARY: In the American Indian Journalism Institute, I learned that my stories are valuable and they are needed because Native Americans are still here and we still have stories to tell.
COMMENTARY: Martin Heinrich’s campaign stumbled last week when it prevented Rob Nikolewski of Capitol Report New Mexico from covering Sen. John Kerry with other reporters. Let me be clear: I don’t care about liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. This post is about my tribe – journalists.
COMMENTARY: In 2006, a newspaper report that documented abuses of law and power in New York’s town and village courts helped birth New Mexico In Depth.
COMMENTARY: New Mexico In Depth represents an attempt to capture a realistic portrait of the complicated world in which we all live, to think beyond artificial subject areas – city hall, state capitol, a school classroom, health care. In other words, we want to make life recognizable to those who live it.
