This week's edition, hitting inboxes, mailboxes and racks today. Anybody who says small mountain towns are dull hasn't been to this one.

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.

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.

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. x.com/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.

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

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…

We're getting flooded with responses. Stay tuned. This is why we do #Collaboration #journalism @colabnewsco
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.
