New Mexico In Depth recently published an investigative series, “Blind Drunk,” documenting the toll alcohol takes on the state.

The investigation was sweeping. But whatever your beat or focus area, alcohol remains a huge, largely uncovered story with impacts on health, crime, policing, business, culture, or politics.

For reporters as well as others who want to learn more, this briefing by reporter Ted Alcorn will provide an overview of the problem and a basic toolkit to get started with your own investigation into alcohol harms in your community. There will also be time for discussion, questions and answers.
