Kevin Hendricks, a seasoned veteran of Albuquerque metro area newsrooms, has been appointed as the editor of The Sandoval Signpost, Corrales Comment and The Independent News.
Hendricks has spent the past 17+ years working in newsrooms with the Albuquerque Journal and Rio Rancho Observer. Hendricks was born and raised in Albuquerque and has lived in Rio Rancho since 2019. He’ll be leading a newsroom team covering Sandoval County, Corrales and the East Mountains as a part of the Ctrl+P Publishing.
“I’m so excited to work with this great team and to help continue the excellent coverage and journalism at all three papers,” Hendricks said. “I’m very happy for this opportunity and I can’t wait to get to work.”
Hendricks has spent the past two years covering everything Sandoval County-related from lengthy commission meetings to business, politics to animals — his favorite.
“Being the editor of a community newspaper is the best job in journalism,” says Publisher Pat Davis. “Kevin is no stranger to a lot of our readers. For almost two decades, his byline has been telling New Mexico’s stories from the bleachers on the sports beat to the front row of late night county commission meetings. We are incredibly excited to have him at the helm.”
