By Denise Tessier In this case, it was better late than never. And admittedly, once it ran, it was a good story, given full play at the top of the front page on the week’s highest circulation day, spilling over onto a near-full page inside. But the Journal was behind other local media in running [...]

March Against Monsanto Gets Short Shrift
June 7th, 2013 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier When a reported 2 million people participated worldwide in the “March Against Monsanto” last month, the Albuquerque Journal ran an Associated Press story along the fold line of an inside page in the B section. One could excuse the Journal for keeping this massive event off the front page that particular day [...]

Filling the Gap: Theater Stories from the Mountains and the Plains
May 29th, 2013 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier One of the comments left on my colleague Arthur Alpert’s excellent post on the Journal cutting its theater coverage suggested that: The (New Mexico) Compass or the (Weekly) Alibi could step into the vacuum by adding and increasing theater coverage with well written previews and reviews, and pick up readers in the [...]

Anatomy of Avoidance: How the Journal deprived readers of the Apple tax dodge story
May 27th, 2013 · No Comments · journalism, tax policy, Uncategorized
By Arthur Alpert Some 20 years ago, I was afraid of new technology, stuck in manual typewriter mode, when my partners and I decided to create a senior monthly, Prime Time. Desktop publishing meant I had to use a Mac, the SE30. Friends said it was “idiot-proof” and so it proved. With a hand up [...]

Undue Influence
May 27th, 2013 · 1 Comment · journalism, Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier “American colleges have become polarizing institutions,” read the headline on the Albuquerque Journal’s May 23 Op-Ed page. Such a claim, which was polarizing in itself, merited a glance to see who wrote it. It wasn’t labeled as written by a think tank researcher, but rather as by “Kevin Hassett, Los Angeles Times.” [...]

More on Benghazi

By Denise Tessier As a follow-up to my “Benghazi, Benghazi!” post: After a week of wire stories related to last year’s attack on the U.S. outpost in Libya, the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday (May 22) carried an Associated Press report that the FBI “has identified a number of individuals that it believes have information or [...]

Benghazi! Benghazi!
May 19th, 2013 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Like a perfect storm, three stories piled upon one another day after day this past week, wrenching national media attention from bombings, sensational crime and gun laws — taking space that should be used to cover pressing issues, like student loan debt and the continuing paucity of jobs. I’m sticking with my [...]

The Martinez Administration’s Multi-Million Dollar Mistake and the Journal’s Curious Absence of Outrage
May 17th, 2013 · 2 Comments · NM Legislature, tax policy, Uncategorized
By Arthur Alpert The Albuquerque Journal’s capacity for outrage is huge, almost as great as its passion for transparency. So where’s the outrage? Where’s the transparency? Where are they, I mean, now that we know the 2013 Legislature passed a budget based on oral testimony at the 11th hour from the Governor’s Finance Secretary that [...]

The Tactics of Offense and Defense: How the Journal Reshapes Healthcare News
May 15th, 2013 · No Comments · health care reform, journalism, Uncategorized
By Arthur Alpert What’s a saving grace? Well, an online dictionary says it’s “a quality that makes up for other generally negative characteristics; redeeming feature.” I was grappling with the question, you see, of whether – where healthcare reporting is concerned – Winthrop Quigley is the Albuquerque Journal’s saving grace. The answer is no, but [...]
