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."

  • Speaking of Words: None, The Oxford, and Kindred Commas

    Speaking of WordsBy MICHAEL FERBER             More and more writers and publishers are joining newspaper editors in the belief that the second-last item in a series needs no comma after it.  They would write                         of the people, by the people and for the people or                         solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short They say the “and” sufficiently separates the last from the second-last item, so a comma is superfluous.  But this is a mistake.  It is not the function of the “and” to separate the last two items; it is to unite all of them.  The comma before “and” does what its kindred commas do in the rest of the series: separate each item from the next.             That comma must also separate the second-last item from the “and” itself, which must not be taken as uniting the last two items more intimately than it unites all the items in the series together.  It is a false argument, in other words, to say that because a list of only two items needs no comma before the “and” a list of three or more should conclude the same way.  For example:                         The Garden was inhabited by the serpent, Adam and Eve.
