Description | The Carlsbad Current and New Mexico Sun was a joint publication in Carlsbad, New Mexico, active from 1907 to 1908. It emerged through the merger of the Carlsbad Current and the New Mexico Sun on October 11, 1907. The combined paper proclaimed itself as "the official paper of Eddy County" in 1908, serving the local community with a blend of national, territorial or state, and local news. The weekly publication was issued every Friday, offering a yearly subscription priced at $1.50. This consolidation reflected the competitive landscape among newspapers in Carlsbad, where multiple publications vied for readership and profits. Carlsbad, originally named Eddy, experienced growth and prosperity, particularly after adopting the name Carlsbad in 1899, drawing inspiration from a renowned German spa. As the town expanded, so did its journalistic offerings, with newspapers like the Carlsbad Current and the New Mexico Sun shaping public discourse and community identity. The paper eventually reverted to the Carlsbad Current in 1908, continuing its role as a vital source of information for the region. While primarily English-language, the Carlsbad Current occasionally featured Spanish-language notices, reflecting the diverse linguistic composition of its readership.
