Even though the Santa Fe New Mexican stakes a claim as being the oldest newspaper in the west, it was a newspaper called La Verdad that was the first-ever New Mexican news publication (founded in 1844, when New Mexico was still a Mexican province). Founded in 1880 as the Golden Gate, it soon became the Albuquerque Daily Journal and in 1889 became the Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. This was shortened to Albuquerque Journal in 1925. Also known as The New Mexican and founded in 1849, it is known as “the west’s oldest newspaper. Published by Gannett in Alamogordo, the Daily News was founded in 1898 and mostly covers local news and issues.
