On newsstands this week…
Forget overly dramatized television shows about cold cases, we’ve got a real life one for you this week. Our friends over at City Desk ABQ dug into a decades-old case out in Mountainair, involving the mysterious death of a rookie cop.
Here at The Paper. we’re also saying our bittersweet goodbye to our student reporter Sara Atencio-Gonzales as she heads off to bigger and brighter things.
And, in case you missed it, check out last week’s issue where I cajoled the staff of our sister publications into writing sweet sentiments about their moms. Spolier alert: grab the tissues.
We’ve got a whole more in this week’s issue, which you can catch up on here.

If we don’t write it, who will?
Big national news outlets might provide play-by-play drama of the latest Trump trial… but they’re not taking you inside Don Schrader’s living room or previewing the next big thing at El Rey or interviewing the local artist excited to launch their first gallery show.
That type of local reporting only comes from local journalists with the freedom to look for stories no one else is telling.
