KUNM Year-End Show 12/22 8a: There were so many big stories in New Mexico this year that it was hard to pare down a list. Instead, our panel of journalists is going to be talking about four themes: child abuse and wellbeing, N.M. law enforcement, politics and SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
We’re going to do something a little different with a rare pre-recorded this show, so we won’t be taking any calls. But we still want to hear from you. What do you think the big New Mexico news was this year? What captured your attention? What do you think got missed? Got any good news? Shoot @KUNMnews a Tweet while the show airs, #YearInNM.
We'll be back to take your calls and comments on Jan. 12 for a 2017 legislative preview. Talk to you then.
Guests
• Longtime criminal justice reporter Jeff Proctor
• Sarah Gustavus, a producer of “New Mexico In Focus” at PBS
• Elise Kaplan, who covers breaking news at the Albuquerque Journal
• Joey Peters of The NM Political Report
