On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by Peter Rice. Peter is the editor of Downtown Albuquerque News in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He’s been a reporter for both print outlets and local NPR stations and has written multiple books. Downtown Albuquerque News is what it says it is – a digital news outlet serving downtown Albuquerque and surrounding neighborhoods. Hyperlocal news.
Peter talked about his and the newsletter’s origin story, gave a couple of examples of the type of coverage his news outlet does, and offered advice throughout to those interested in doing something similar in their community.
