AMA: We’re celebrating 6 years of providing reliable local news for El Paso. Ask Us Anything.
👋 Hello r/ElPaso! We’re the team behind El Paso Matters, an independent, nonprofit newsroom created to provide fact-based, reliable local news for El Paso and the border region.
This week, we’re marking six years of showing up for our community — covering city government, schools, health, the environment and the everyday issues people use to make decisions for themselves and their families.
Our founder, Bob Moore, started El Paso Matters with a simple goal: make sure our community has local information it can trust. Six years later, we’re still here — rooted in El Paso, accountable to our neighbors, and focused on transparency and fairness.
As part of our anniversary week campaign, we are here to answer your questions about our newsroom and our local coverage. Whether you’re curious about how we choose what to cover, what it’s like reporting on sensitive topics, how we verify information, or what we’re excited to investigate next, this AMA is your chance to talk directly with us about the work we do — and the community we serve.
One reason we’ve been able to keep showing up year after year is community support. If our reporting has been useful to you, you can make an anniversary gift here.
Who you’ll be hearing from:
- Cindy Ramirez, editor
- Elida S. Perez, senior government accountability reporter
- Claudia Lorena Silva, K-12 education reporter
- Priscilla Totiyapungprasert, health reporter
📅 We’ll be here answering questions from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13.
In the meantime, ask us anything. We’re looking forward to the conversation! 🗞️✨
