“I have never seen anything like this” @jayrosen_nyu speaking to @ColoradoPress about the Voter Voices project from @CPRNews & @colabnewsco colabnews.co/voter-voices-20… #Colorado #Election2024
Mike and Erin put their heart and soul into serving Ouray County. Support them if you can. #LocalNews
Where are #colorado’s news deserts?
What topics are #newsrooms covering?
What are their greatest challenges and most innovative solutions?
The new #StateOfNewsCO has the answers

Just like our thriving communities, we're growing! So grateful for the work that the @DenverNorthStar and @GESGazette have done, and we're committed to keeping #LocalNews strong! 💪🏾📰
It was hard for @colabnewsco to make this map because so many news outlets keep signing on to our #Election2024 project. It's changed since that post already! Stronger #communities through stronger #journalism.
Our Voter Voices page is live! colabnews.co/voter-voices-20… 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.

#journalism #collaboration is hard, but this team relished working together. And they're being duly recognized. Congratulations, @ericameltzer @JenBrownColo @MelanieAsmar @tinagriego @raelnb
and Helen Santoro on Last Resort!
This thread describes the Voter Voices project with 30+ of our @colabnewsco #Colorado #news #media partners. Together we're making #Election2024 more about the people - and people are taking notice!
Today we launched one of our most ambitious projects yet: Voter Voices. About 30 #Colorado newsrooms are teaming up to ask voters what they want candidates to talk about as they compete for their votes. Our key partner, @CPRNews , wrote about it.

Thanks for the shout, @jayrosen_nyu. Hope more #news outlets join & other states follow. Huge thanks to 30+ media partners participating, especially the leadership of @CPRNews @colabnewsco
The collaboration announced today in Colorado is without precedent in the history of the citizens agenda approach to campaign coverage, which goes back to 1990-92. xitter.cf/colabnewsco/status/177…
Great thread on #colorado 's own @NewslineCO, among a cohort of @colabnewsco partners working with @wearehearken and CO Media Project toward #election coverage that better serves the public and #democracy.
"We’re demoting the horse race and elevating constituent interests."
That's the headline on today's announcement from the editor of Colorado Newsline, Quentin Young.

His newsroom is officially putting "not the odds, but the stakes" into practice. 2/
The @microsoft Journalism Initiative is making a difference for the #futureofjournalism, led by @GBadanes. You can see how in their new report. Thanks for #collaborating here in #Colorado through @colabnewsco @ColoradoPress and Colorado Media Project.
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.

Hey, #NFLOwners and #firstamendment lovers! In #Aurora #Colorado, we're inspired by #GoPackGo folks for a new model of local #journalism. @EditorDavePerry is quarterbacking. @colabnewsco
The @GreenbaypackNFL inspire new model for local journalism. Had the chance to give @Laura_Frank tour of @gbpressgazette and learn more about this amazing effort. greenbaypressgazette.com/sto…

Since #IRE22 is actually in Aurora (not Denver, sorry), a little bit about the local newspaper! @SentinelColo is in its 114th year of publishing (yeah!) and we just embarked on a new ownership journey to prevent a big ol’ company from squashing our dreams. sentinelcolorado.com/news/se…

A must-read investigation from @Greeneindenver. Proud of and grateful for our statewide newsroom partners, who are running this project, reporting local sidebars, contributing graphics, photos, real and moral support. This is what collaboration looks like.
