The Albuquerque Journal Monitor

The Albuquerque Journal claims to be a "leading" newspaper. It enjoys dominance in the politics of Albuquerque. However, it represents conservative and developer agendas at the expense of other viewpoints. It emphasizes “fluff” news, ignoring or minimizing more important stories. It seldom publishes detailed, qualified criticism of itself, so the Journal needs an ombudsman. This blog publishes thoughtful evaluations and comments about the Albuquerque Journal.
