News that belongs to Gallup.

Gallup Today is an independent, community-supported news source for Gallup, New Mexico, McKinley County, and the surrounding Diné communities. We publish local news, verified public-safety alerts, obituaries, community events, and a directory of local businesses.

Free for readers, always. We're funded by local businesses and funeral homes, not by paywalls or invasive ad-tech. Sponsored cards are clearly labeled, capped, and never appear in obituaries or safety alerts.

Why we started

Gallup and McKinley County deserve a daily record of their own. Most households on the Navajo Nation have no home broadband, so a weekly PDF or a social post an algorithm may or may not show you is not good enough for a flash flood warning. Gallup Today is built for how people here actually get information: free, immediate, in four languages, and working when the connection does not.

Who can publish

• Government (city, county, police, fire): verified, with the exclusive right to post official safety alerts.
• Organizations (schools, nonprofits, chapters): verified once by our team.
• Community members: submissions are screened for accuracy and tone before publishing.
• Businesses: welcome in the directory and through clearly-labeled sponsorships.

Corrections

We fix mistakes quickly and in the open. Spotted something wrong? Tell us on the contact page and choose Correction.

Where the directory comes from

Most of our business listings begin as public map data from OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database License. Map data goes stale, so every listing carries a Report a problem link, and any owner can claim their listing and correct it themselves. Claimed and corrected listings are ours, kept current by the people who actually run the business.
