Local, independent news matters.

Think ABQ needs a little news competition? So do we. 

The Paper: ABQ's local, independent reader-supported news.


Our advertisers and owners cover the cost of printing, websites and emails so that 100% of reader donations can support local journalists.


How can you help?

$250 supports a journalist covering an in-depth story.

$100 covers the stipend for a reporter to cover one online or video story 

$50 is a great way to show your support with a one-time donation

$25 buys coffee and donuts for the newsroom for the day


Donations to The Paper are not tax-deductible. But it does feel good to help. Plus, Karma...
