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."
Beatrice Coulter, RN
Co-founder Advocates for Ethical Mental Health Treatment

  • Speaking of Words: Language Death

    Speaking of WordsBy Michael Ferber Of the 7,159 living languages in the world that the Ethnologue website now lists, it considers 3,193 to be “endangered,” that is, “It is no longer the norm that children learn and use this language.”   That’s 45%.  The Catalogue of Endangered Languages has compiled data on the “current vitality” of 3,394 languages, a slightly higher number.  Ethnologue makes a further distinction: where “the child-bearing generation is no longer able to transmit the language to the next generation,” the language is “dying”; there are 1,030 of these, or 14%.  It also reports that 454 languages have become extinct during the recent centuries of European expansion. Wikipedia has an impressive (and depressing) list of extinct languages, starting with the most recent extinctions and running back several thousand years.  It names three languages as having gone extinct in 2024, but since it cites an article in the Jakarta Globe that names eleven recent extinctions in Indonesia alone, it is surely not up to date.  It tells us, however, that the last speaker of Columbia-Wenatchi in Northern Idaho died in 2023 at age 96; her name was Pauline Stensgar.  The last speaker of Quapaw in Oklahoma died in 2022 at age 91; her name was Ardina Moore.  The last speaker of Bering Aleut died in 2021 at age 93; her name was Vera Timoshenko.  Some 95 languages, according to this list, went extinct in our century.  Over 250 died in the twentieth.
