There are communities across the U.S. that have been forced to navigate the pandemic and 2020’s other challenges without local media in place to assist them by providing timely, trustworthy information. As the virus began to spread, creating public health concerns and economic devastation, these areas were already what are referred to as “news deserts” — places no longer served by local newspapers. That process — expansion across America of these “deserts” — has only accelerated as the pandemic has heaped layer upon laye...
Not everyone who finds themselves drawn to UFO-related subjects believes, unequivocally, that extraterrestrial life exists. For one’s interest to be piqued, all that’s really required is an interest in the unknown. A belief in at least the possibility that extraterrestrial life exists, an open mind — well, that doesn’t hurt either. Of course there are many true believers out there. Either because of a personal encounter or experience or an inability to ignore the math, for them no leap of faith is required. But unless...
Discussions about how government can and should work for the people almost always come down to measuring the distance between one point of view and another. Especially these days. But when the system works like it ought to, debate and discussion — which includes a little give and take — is still what moves government from point A to point B, no matter the issue. As a 60-day session of the New Mexico Legislature gets under way, both the Senate and House of Representatives are so solidly blue that it’s hard to anticipate how lo...

Good fortune in the form of advantageous geography sometimes prevents demolition or degradation of historic sites. Surprising feats of engineering often defy the best...
The fact that there are some things computers and robots do exceptionally well, far more efficiently than any human could, has for decades led to both triumph and concern for people the planet over. As time marches on and technology progresses, examples of both are likely only to increase. Short of a “Walking Dead” level of post-apocalyptic backsliding, what could possibly turn back the clock? Zombies are fiction. Computers and robots are real and becoming more advanced and omnipresent by the day, meaning we’re stuck with...
A marketing campaign considered by many the most successful in the history of advertising will celebrate a significant milestone next year, and in doing so bring some attention to this part of the state. A group of Forest Service employees and others involved in planning the 75th anniversary celebration of Smokey Bear — the iconic character that has, for generations, promoted wildfire prevention — were in Roswell recently looking to create partnerships in advance of the festivities and scout nearby locations for planned edu...
