The downtown offices for The New Mexican are located at 202 East Marcy Street in Santa Fe where the advertising, editorial, accounting and administration departments are located.
Its notable writers include New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, who served as executive editor in the early 1950s.[2]
The New Mexican built a new 65,000 sq. ft. production building which was completed in November 2004, located at One New Mexican Plaza in Santa Fe. The first Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper was printed on the new KBA Comet press on November 1, 2004. The New Mexican also prints the Albuquerque Journal at this facility.[3]
