By Denise Tessier The Albuquerque Journal was generous in giving one-time New Mexico congresswoman Heather Wilson a forum to explain further her $10,000-a-month contract from Sandia National Laboratories, a lucrative deal in which money started accruing to Wilson the day after she left office. Wilson was given a good part of the Nov. 11 Journal […]

Follow-up on Books, New Journalism, Plus Something Related to Guns
January 22nd, 2013 · No Comments · journalism
By Denise Tessier The Sunday Journal Books page hasn’t had its last chapter after all (“The Book Review’s Last Chapter,” Dec. 12). The Books page continued to run Jan. 13 and Jan. 20, after the departure of long-time editor David Steinberg, and in the spot once reserved for Steinberg’s local books column a similar feature […]

New Year, New Sites in New Mexico Journalism
January 4th, 2013 · 1 Comment · journalism
By Denise Tessier If, like me, you’ve wondered where the news and other parts of the Weekly Alibi went, you will find many of them at New Mexico’s newest online journalism venture, nmcompass.com. The heart and soul of the news side of the Alibi – writers Marisa Demarco, Margaret Wright and Carolyn Carlson — are […]

Journalistic Sins
October 26th, 2012 · No Comments · journalism, role of government
By Arthur Alpert Today I was going to remind us that Albuquerque Journal editors remain masters of the misleading headline. Yes, they’ve done it again, putting a rubric atop a token liberal’s column that ignores the burden of his argument. But I’ve noted before how assiduously the headline writers work to defang (when, rarely, the […]

Journal Finally Takes a Closer Look at Rio Grande Foundation
August 26th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier The Albuquerque Journal ran yet another Rio Grande Foundation column last Monday (Aug. 20), but this time Journal editors actually added something new to the conservative think tank’s description at the column’s close: The Rio Grande Foundation is an independent, nonpartisan, tax-exempt New Mexico research and educational organization. The Donors Capital Fund […]

Weighty Issue Brought to Forefront
August 17th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier After praising the Weekly Alibi for its bold cover and editorial coverage of the “Megadrought” in New Mexico, it’s only fair to congratulate the Albuquerque Journal for putting bold and dramatic emphasis on the state’s drug problems with its “Deadly Addiction” series by Mike Gallagher, groups of stories that ran on multiple […]

The Case for No Longer Serving Up a Diluted Dish on Climate Change
July 27th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier There’s an old saying:” If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” The Journal hasn’t exactly stayed out of the “kitchen” when it comes to reporting on global warming. As we’ve said before, national stories carried on the Journal’s pages regularly talk about the warming trend. And Journal science […]

Keeping Up the Ideological Heat
July 19th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Heat wasn’t the only record-setter this summer. I’d wager the number of articles, letters and columns by the conservative Rio Grande Foundation and its national counterparts set a record for publication in the Journal this summer as well. Nearly every week, it seems, one can count on seeing Paul J. Gessing or […]

What Was He Thinking? A Cautionary Tale
December 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier I’ve never met Phil Parker, but I’ve read his stories in the Albuquerque Journal, most of which have appeared in the North edition because he’s based in Santa Fe. If, back in June, you read the Journal’s front-page coverage of the fires near Los Alamos, you’ve read Phil Parker. From what I’ve […]
