David S. Bennahum the CEO and founder of The American Independent News Network announced the closure of the progressive leaning New Mexico Independent yesterday after three and a half years of operation in New Mexico. In a post on the website Bennahum said, "the board of the American Independent News Network, has decided to shift publication of its news into a single site, The American Independent at Americanindependent.com."
In his explanation of the closing Bennahum added, "This is part of a shift in strategy, towards new forms of journalism made available as technology has advanced, and an increasing emphasis on national coverage and issue-based coverage from our network. Over the coming months, AINN will announce a number of new journalism initiatives that will continue to advance our mission of producing impact journalism in the public interest."
Along with the Santa Fe New Mexican, the Independent has been a reliable source for those wanting to determine what the priorities and viewpoints of progressives are in New Mexico.
