The Corridor Volume 2 Issue 2 - March 2016

COMMUNITY NEWS, VIEWS, AND MORE
Why “The Corridor”
In our inaugural issue of The
Corridor we talked about why
we gave our new publication
the name The Corridor, the kind
of information we hoped to
bring our readers, the communities
that we served, and how
we hoped to “modernize” the
old-fashioned idea of the community
newspaper.
Our intention with the name
The Corridor referred to the
many trails and “corridors” on
which people in this part of the
country have traveled and settled
since there were humans
inhabiting the West.
We began by identifying the
Santa Fe Trail, Camino Real,
Turquoise Trail and Route 66 as
the major “corridors” that our
paper served. Beginning with
our June issue we added these
trails to the masthead to help
identify our distribution area.
Along the way, as we expanded
into more of north central New
Mexico, we identified the Old
Spanish Trail, the Salt Missions
Trail, even the Old Pecos Trail
and Old Las Vegas Highway,
as being a part of our readership
area. Rather than add all
of these additional byways to
our masthead, we have simplified
our coverage statement to
“Serving the Communities of
North Central New Mexico”.
Old School vs New Tech
we also talked about our hope
to combine the convenience and
convention of having a printed
paper ro provide communication,
share news and views, as
well as providing a delivery
vehicle for businesses and services
to offer their wares to the
public.
At the same time, we planned to
keep the number of pages that
we print each month to a small
number, no more than 24 pages,
in order to keep our costs down
and keep waste to a minimum. In
order to provide additional information,
such as our calendar of
events, more in-depth stories and
to provide a repository for each
edition of The Corridor as it was
printed, we launched a concurrent
online edition of The Corridor,
www.thecorridornm.com.
After major building and re-building
by our webmaster and graphics
administrator, Jefferson
LaRouche, we now have a dynamic
web presence that allows
us to bring the hope of converging
the old school and the newest
technologies.
Today you can view and read all
of the past issues of The Corridor
online, view our event calendar,
business directory, find restaurants,
find the closest place to
pick up your copy of The Corridor
(even if you visiting elsewhere in
New Mexico).
You can also check out other pages,
such as the Side Trips page,
which now includes a map along
with a reprint of each edition of
Sude Trips to see where the trip
would take you (an how to get
there to make your own excursion).
In this issue our feature story
talks a little about how far we
have come since we started, some
of our regular features and pages,
and a visual review of some of
our artwork and Side Trips.
Be sure to check out Jefferson’s
page, “Blinded with Science”,
where he recalls a trip to the
Xprize cup in 2006 and explains
what the prize is about and
where it is going in the future.
