MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN COLORADO
Rooted in the nineteenth-century mining boom, local journalism historically reflects a sharp divide between concentrated Front Range dailies and isolated mountain publications. The industry is anchored by the Denver Post, an Alden Global Capital property maintaining the highest statewide circulation. Further south, the Anschutz-owned Gazette in Colorado Springs provides a well-established conservative editorial voice, the Daily Camera serves Boulder under the same corporate umbrella as the Post, and the Gannett-owned Pueblo Chieftain operates as the oldest daily in the region. Metropolitan areas also support a long-standing alternative press, most prominently Westword, which has covered capital culture since 1977.
