This week on New Mexico in Focus, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor sits down with a journalism professor and a criminal defense lawyer to consider what's next for the Albuquerque Journal, following the arrest and jailing of its executive editor after a misdemeanor shoplifting charge. First, Jeff asks UNM journalism professor and reporter Gwyneth Doland what sort of ethical conundrum has been created for the Journal's publisher and owner. Later, Jeff asks attorney Kelly Golightley to highlight the people who are typically charged for shoplifting and consider what a 10-day sentence means for the average person.
State Treasurer Laura Montoya tells correspondent Russell Contreras why she supports a pilot “baby bonds” project, and how a similar statewide program could improve the financial literacy of future generations.
James Butler, a project manager for Pete's Place, discusses with Senior Producer Lou DiVizio how the unhoused community in Santa Fe has benefited from his new "Showers to Go" program — and why Bernalillo County should adopt a similar model.
