We view journalism as activism<\/a> in the purest sense of the word: We should help all people become active participants in our society.\u00a0NMPolitics.net\u00a0is\u00a0devoted to nonpartisan, hard-hitting, fair exploration of politics and government that\u00a0informs and engages.<\/p>\n

NMPolitics.net doesn’t\u00a0push people to advocate for a specific position on any policy. Instead, we try\u00a0to\u00a0help people from across the political and ideological spectrums be involved in the debate.<\/p>\n

Through discussions\u00a0on social media, our website, and beyond, and by involving New Mexicans and others\u00a0in our reporting and commentary, NMPolitics.net seeks\u00a0to give all people an entry point into the conversation about our society, challenge you\u00a0to be involved, and value your\u00a0participation.<\/p>\n

We question\u00a0power and promote\u00a0government transparency to help people have greater access to and influence over the system. We hold ourselves to the same standard by disclosing our donors<\/a>\u00a0and giving you a voice in our journalism.<\/p>\n

At NMPolitics.net, we\u00a0choose to believe we can change a\u00a0system that is the cause\u00a0of so\u00a0much cynicism if we come together. We choose hope<\/a>.<\/p>\n
