Colorado Boulevard Newspaper celebrated its 13th anniversary on June 28, 2026.

A grassroots newspaper is more than a local publication; it is the voice of the community.

By Wafic Khalil

We tell the stories that matter, amplify voices that deserve to be heard, and hold those in power accountable. We have never strayed from our roots. We do not stand with any political side—we stand for what is right.

When leaders make mistakes, we ask the hard questions, seek the truth, and stand up for the people we serve. That commitment has guided us from day one.

Today, as we celebrate our 13th anniversary, we remain what we’ve always been: a newspaper for the people, by the people. That is what true, ethical hyperlocal journalism means to us.

Lifting Up and Informing Our Communities

For over a decade, we’ve been more than just reporters, we've been your neighbors, your watchdogs, and your champions for truth.

While national headlines come and go, we stay focused on what matters most: your street, your schools, your air, your community.

We ask the tough questions. We hold power to account. And we do it with integrity, guided by facts, not spin.

At Colorado Boulevard Newspaper, we believe in science, listen to experts, and put your interests above clickbait and corporate control.

There are no shareholders here. No agendas. Just local journalism, powered by people who care.

Because we live here too.
