What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

"We desperately need investigative news organizations like InDepthNH to counter the fake Facebook postings and toxic partisan diatribe masquerading as the truth. I’m immensely grateful to InDepthNH for the invaluable work they do."
Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

“New Hampshire owes a debt of gratitude to IndepthNH.org for its investigative journalism covering government accountability issues. It has been a pleasure teaming up with them to enhance government transparency and accountability in the Granite State.”  
Gilles Bissonnette
ACLU-NH Legal Director

"The arrival of InDepthNH.org has been a game changer. It has filled the void of providing investigative journalism in New Hampshire. InDepthNH.org has provided ethical, quality journalism on issues that impact the lives of New Hampshire citizens daily. In addition to giving a voice and a platform to those who would otherwise be voiceless."

  • State: 3 New COVID-19 Deaths, 1,657 Cases, Names of Institutional Outbreaks

    On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, DHHS announced 1,023 new positive test results for COVID-19 for Tuesday, January 25. Today’s results include 729 people who tested positive by PCR test and 294 who tested positive by antigen test.

  • One Million In-Home Rapid Tests To Be Sold at Cost in Liquor Stores

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.orgCONCORD - One million more in-home rapid tests were purchased Wednesday by the state and the plan is to sell them at cost in the liquor stores beginning in the next few weeks.There are 68 liquor stores throughout the state and Gov. Chris Sununu said they are going to be distributed based on projected volume.At his weekly press briefing Wednesday in Concord, he announced the $12 million purchase, approved by the Executive Council Wednesday, and he said they will be sold at a cost of about $17 per single test, which can be covered by insurance.Money collected can go back into buying more tests, he said.He said the order for the at-home tests went out after the vote in the morning at the Executive Council, though he noted he was "hopefully optimistic" that the order would be filled.Last week, he noted that the states of Maryland and Virginia both reported their orders were pulled back because the Biden Administration was taking up the supply to offer millions for free online.Those tests are still available, but there is a few weeks' expected delay before they arrive in homes across the country.Sununu said the idea is to fill the shelves and make tests available to keep in medicine cabinets when and if needed.Sununu said the state is still seeing "pretty high levels" of the virus but it is not accelerating as it has for the past month.Hospitalizations are still high, he said and he anticipated that to be the case for at least for the next few weeks.COVID-19 UpdateDr. Benjamin Chan state epidemiologist, said that although the data is incomplete, the state is reporting at least 1,023 new cases Wednesday, and 13,870 active cases.He described a "high level of COVID-19" statewide.The state positivity rate is coming down a bit from last week. Last week it was 22 percent compared to 17 for this week.Still, he said, hospitalizations remain high with 401 reported Wednesday.The state reported three new deaths with a total of 2,173 lives lost to COVID-19 in the past almost two years.Chan said the state reported 59 new deaths last week and is averaging eight new deaths per day.In other countries, there has been a rapid drop-off in Omicron cases once it peaks but that is not yet seen here, Chan said.Long-Term Care Lori Shibinette, commissioner of the state Department of Health and Human Services, said the state has opened seven new outbreaks of three or more cases of COVID-19 and closed out two from this time last week for a total of 47.Many prisons and jails now have outbreaks though some have closed.What we are seeing, she said, is that the fatality rate is not as high nor is it spreading as it was before vaccinations were made available last year."We are still tracking it for now but it is not having the (death) outcomes in 2021," Shibinette said.
