NMiF Senior Producer Lou DiVizio opens this week's episode by laying out a full slate of podcast offerings over the next couple of weeks as we continue our series analyzing our state's journalism ecosystem.  

After that, Lou delivers a trio of state headlines including ⁠a decision from the New Mexico Supreme Court⁠ that impacts a pending redistricting lawsuit.  

Then, it's Executive Producer Jeff Proctor's exclusive interview with the new executive editor at the Albuquerque Journal, Patrick Ethridge. Jeff asks about his career in journalism to this point and how that will shape his philosophy at the top of what has long been considered New Mexico’s “paper of record.”
