Albuquerque Journal

The Albuquerque Journal is a daily newspaper headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It publishes a print edition each morning and maintains a digital presence through its website and mobile applications. The newspaper provides coverage of local, state, national, and international news, supplemented by sections devoted to sports, business, entertainment, and opinion. Its content is aimed at informing residents of the Albuquerque metropolitan area and surrounding communities in central New Mexico.

The Journal traces its origins to the late nineteenth century, giving it a longstanding role in the regional media landscape. Over its history, it has adapted to changing reader habits by expanding its online offerings. The organization employs reporters, editors, photographers, and multimedia staff who contribute to its daily news cycle. Its editorial stance emphasizes local accountability and community engagement.

In January 2015, the Albuquerque Journal's Twitter account was compromised by a group claiming affiliation with ISIS, operating under the name CyberCaliphate. The attackers gained access through compromised employee credentials and posted alleged FBI database breaches, personal details, sealed criminal records, and government documents from Stewart County, Tennessee. The Journal confirmed the unauthorized access and stated that the breach was not the result of internal disgruntlement, prompting an FBI investigation. The incident underscored the importance of robust credential security for media organizations' social media channels.
