A new chapter for local news in Colorado

This partnership combines the deep local roots of these news brands with the operational scale of Times Media Group and the community-centered mission of the National Trust for Local News. With a combined team of dedicated journalists, editors, designers, and media professionals, we are:

  • Expanding digital platforms and reach

  • Preserving independent local voices across all our titles
  • Exploring new models for audience engagement and revenue growth

Our combined organization serves eight counties along Colorado’s Front Range — Weld, Adams, Jeffco, Clear Creek, Douglas, Elbert, Arapahoe and Denver — and we remain committed to keeping those communities informed, connected, and empowered.
