Empowering El Paso Through In-Depth Reporting

El Paso Matters provides El Paso the highest standard of local news. Since 2020, we’ve reported on the issues that shape our unique border region. From local government and education to health care, climate change and immigration, our reporting provides crucial context about the border that often is missing in national coverage. In this crucial election year, our team of experienced journalists brings in-depth analysis, candidate profiles, and timely elections reporting to help you make informed decisions at the ballot box.

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization, we are dedicated to providing factual and unbiased journalism. We help all El Pasoans make informed decisions by offering objective information on issues directly affecting the community.

Everyone deserves access to accurate and reliable investigative journalism. At El Paso Matters, we don’t have a paywall on our site or charge a subscription fee because everyone should be able to access information on the issues that impact their lives.

But while it’s free to consume, it’s not free to produce. It costs $25,000 a week to fund our journalists’ work. We rely on the support of our community and readers to be able to do this important work. Every supporter ensures it remains free for everyone to read and share.

This El Paso Giving Day, we’re aiming to raise $20,000 to help us continue providing free, high-quality journalism.

Join us in building a more informed El Paso. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
