About La Jicarita

La Jicarita News is a community advocacy newspaper for northern New Mexico, based in the Rio Pueblo/Rio Embudo watershed. It began under the Rio Pueblo/Rio Embudo Watershed Protection Coalition and received its own 501(c)(3) status in 1999 to extend coverage to communities across northern New Mexico. The publication reports on land and water management, agricultural land loss, water transfers, forest resources, acequias, land grants, and sustainable community-based employment, and it promotes collaborative projects between public lands agencies and community groups.

The site provides a current issue, an archive from 1996–2008, an article index, and recurring features such as Puntos de Vista, oral histories, and coverage of New Mexico land grants. It also offers subscription and donation options and says it relies on foundation support and reader investment; it states that non-profit funding has been reduced.
