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

  • Are All Languages Alike?

    Speaking of WordsBy Michael Ferber             It sounds absurd even to ask if all languages are alike, or even somewhat alike, as anyone studying a foreign language for the first time will attest.  Who could say such a thing?             Well, when he spoke at UNH in 1995, Noam Chomsky, the most influential linguist of our time, said, “If a Martian linguist visited Earth and listened to humans speaking everywhere, it would conclude that humans all speak the same language, with only trivial dialectal differences among them.”  (I am quoting from memory so I might be off by a word or two.)  All human languages, he says, are really just different dialects of the same language.  This sounds outrageous, but it is only a more pungent version of the claim he has made from the outset of his life-long work on “universal grammar”: the features of syntax, sound, and semantics that any natural language must possess if it is to be intelligible at all, and that all languages on the planet do in fact possess.  He has especially focused on syntax, but he has also studied sounds (phonology) and meanings.
