Dear Friends:
We’re here working for you. Our mission is to “hold government accountable to the people; to fearlessly report unbiased, nonpartisan news that fully informs citizens about their democracy; and to challenge government secrecy by engaging in investigative journalism to shine light on wrongdoing and corruption.”
InDepthNH.org was incorporated May 7, 2015, and we’ll soon be starting our ninth year of bringing you news that matters. We have become one of New Hampshire’s go-to sources for news of what’s happening in the State Legislature. We keep you informed on stories about education and health care and law enforcement, and we certainly are not shy about speaking truth to power. We work for you, our readers, and we never forget that.
The number of our readers has quadrupled over these past eight years as people seek out trusted, nonpartisan outlets that have no paywall. We continue to seek out niches that legacy newspapers are often unable to cover due to short staffs and budgetary constraints. We make a very small budget go a very long way because we have contract workers and volunteers who believe in our mission and believe the people in New Hampshire must have the news that matters to them, that encourages civic engagement that leads to democratic participation.
With our limited resources, we have enlisted veteran journalists as well as citizens who have important thoughts to relay, and it is this combination of voices from across the spectrum, as well as our unwavering focus delivering on our original promises, that has kept the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism, the nonprofit corporation that operates InDepthNH.org, on target and growing as one of New Hampshire’s trusted news sources.
Our focus has been and continues to be to report on those issues which often go overlooked, sometimes due to shrinking newsrooms and budgets, or not reported at all, due to the current news cycle, advertisers’ demand for online traffic, or lack of resources to accurately report on complicated issues. After eight years of delivering our content according to this model, we can look back on our progress, especially as it relates to our original goals, and report that we have far exceeded what we set out to do.
