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."

  • Ayotte: Lease for Hampton Rest Areas Provides Long-Term Control and Revenue To State

    By PAULA TRACY, InDepthNH.org CONCORD – Gov. Kelly Ayotte said she believes a lease option rather than a sale of the Hampton Interstate 95 rest areas and liquor stores is a better bet because the state can control a lot more about the messaging rather than selling it outright, and have a long-term source of income. Executive Councilor Janet Stevens, R-Rye, in whose district Hampton is located, said she and the governor are going to meet next week with Hampton officials who were hoping that a sale would mean $1 million a year in real estate tax revenue, where they get none right now.
