Our thanks to board member Gwyneth Doland who has agreed to take on the all-important role of Program Chair for our chapter. Gwyneth is the editor of the New Mexico Independent, an online-only news and politics site based in Albuquerque. The Independent is a project of the non-profit Center for Independent Media.

With the Independent she has pioneered new media tools such as webcasting and live blogging, focusing on the state legislature and legislative meetings. One of her goals is to open the political process to readers and engage them in the discussion.

She previously worked as a restaurant critic and food writer and was an editor at the Santa Fe Reporter and Weekly Alibi, where she began her newspaper career in 1999.
