Santa Fe Reporter
The Santa Fe Reporter continues the proud tradition as the city’s source of alternative news and culture since 1974, reporting on community issues as well as celebration and criticism of local music, visual arts, film, movie and performing arts. We believe in the independence of the fourth estate, in critical examination of the government, and in the value of helping active citizens understand each other. We take seriously our role to shine a light in dark places and to push for greater transparency. And we also have fun! Our weekly print events calendar and its perpetual online companion are indispensable. Our newspaper and website are free and we’re committed to keeping them that way thanks to support from our advertisers and readers.
Pick up a copy each Wednesday in front of D105.
