Startling first-person account of a Colorado journalist facing harassment and death threats in a county beset with conspiracy theories. Abuse even comes from another local news outlet.
Our Voter Voices page is live! https://t.co/9ACbowvITA Look at all these #colorado newsrooms inspired by the citizens agenda and working together to listen and respond to voters in their communities. We could not have done this without our partners @CPRNews. Thank you.
Booting a credentialed journalist from a political party assembly, especially one who represents a statewide news organization like the @ColoradoSun, undermines the vital role of the free press and directly impacts thousands of Coloradans who rely on The Sun for coverage.
Huge development in my world this week, ably described by @CoreyHutchins in this Substack post: https://t.co/ap520OxWZ7
The gist: 30 or so newsrooms in Colorado are collaborating to shift their election coverage away from the horse race and toward the voters and their concerns.
Very proud to have worked with @MelanieAsmar@tinagriego@raelnb@JenBrownColo and Helen Santoro on Last Resort, an examination of Colorado's facility schools. Huge congratulations to these talented journalists on being EWA finalists. https://t.co/i9DGXEeFrM
Really excited about this and so impressed by the enthusiasm of my colleagues around the state. If you are a Colorado newsroom and want in, give me a holler at [email protected]. It's not too late!

West slope onions are being harvested now, these onions are shipped all over the United States in time for thanksgiving and Christmas recipes.
Anyone need a story/picture package of this year’s harvest?!
An Arnold strongman champ.
A sumo wrestler.
A 30-something father of three.
An openly gay lineman.
A family legacy.
Yes, college football's most interesting team is in Colorado. It's just not the one you think.

@marysdesk Your reporting and storytelling are incredible. And, as a longtime print journalist, I keep thinking about what would have been lost in not hearing Jessie speak, her voice, the power of it. The ferocity of her heart awes me.
@jesiblanchard@AMontgomery_998 Finally, last night, I got to share the story we've been working on since that trip, a true collaboration with the magical geniuses at @ThisAmerLife and @Slate. It's a thrill for this work to be in the world, and reaching your ears. https://t.co/D1LZEVeFMr (2/?)
I've found it easy, too easy, to get lost in the weeds of how we reinvigorate local news. So I’m grateful for this kind of support & big-picture vision. It reminds me not only of the stakes, but also the scale and scope of collaborative reimagining underway. It’s inspiring.
Local journalism is in crisis. Today, we released a comprehensive guidebook based on our learnings from partnering with local news organizations to help the industry reach a more economically sustainable future.
