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

  • Councilor Joe Kenney Wants Ayotte’s Rationale To Pull Hampton Welcome Center Sale

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.org CONCORD - Calling it a "monumental decision" made by Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte to pull the plug on the sale and development of the Hampton Interstate 95 liquor store properties into New Hampshire Welcome Centers, Executive Councilor Joe Kenney, R-Wakefield, said Monday he is hearing from many across the state who have questions and he has few answers.

  • Loons vs. Moose: Fish and Game Opposes Proposed Loon License Plate

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.org CONCORD - If there is to be a bit of competition between the moose and the loons in this state on license plates, Fish and Game wants a piece of the action. Stephanie Simek, director for the NH Fish and Game Department, told the Senate Finance Committee that the department cannot support a proposed loon license plate because it might lead to reduced revenue from the Moose conservation license plate which benefits the department, in part, and that the new fund would not go to wildlife conservation but to fight a nasty and potentially dangerous scum on the lakes, cyanobacteria.
