    New mapping report shows lack of local newsrooms in the state
    Jeanette DeDios
    For New Mexicans living in metropolitan areas like Albuquerque and Santa Fe, local news is easy to find. But news deserts are numerous around the state and trustworthy local news can be hard to come by.A new report by media professionals, educators, and students maps local news outlets and highlights news gaps. KUNM spoke with project directors Gwyneth Doland, a University of New Mexico Communications and Journalism professor, and former journalism professor Michael Marcotte.
