Amid the backdrop of newspapers shedding jobs and narrowing news coverage, the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership is expanding its news operation to Santa Fe. The Daily News announced that Milan Simonich will report for the eight-paper partnership from the Roundhouse, beginning with the upcoming legislative session, the first for Governor-elect Susana Martinez.
The New Mexico papers in the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership include the Las Cruces Sun-News, the Alamogordo Daily News, the Ruidoso News and five other newspapers mostly in New Mexico.
“Re-establishing our Santa Fe news bureau demonstrates our commitment to our New Mexico communities,” said Sergio Salinas, CEO of Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership, according to a story from the partnership. “Milan’s deep, rich experience will keep our readers informed on a wide variety of subjects, particularly state government and how it shapes our daily lives.”
The only New Mexico newspapers currently with Capitol bureaus are the Santa Fe New Mexican and the Albuquerque Journal.
Other papers may report from the Roundhouse on select days but do not have consistent presences in the Roundhouse.
