Print is dead! Long live print! What's the real story?

More than 80 publications serving Colorado's Front Range communities found out the hard way over the past two years, as our state’s few remaining commercial printing presses have closed, reduced capacity, or raised prices — throwing many local news publishers into a tailspin.

Some publications are now printing in Wyoming, Kansas or New Mexico. Some consolidated their brands. Some closed up shop. But almost all who remain in business are paying significantly more to produce their print products — which for most, still account for the vast majority of their razor-thin profit margins, thanks to dedicated local advertisers who recognize the value of their trusted, local brands.

Join us March 22 as we hear how local news innovators at the National Trust for Local News and Colorado Community Media are rewriting the story about print — with support from Colorado Media Project and our Press Forward Colorado Funder Table.
