      A great ethical newspaper must contain at least one item that offends someone.

      10 Years Online, 5 Years in Print!

      By Wafic Khalil

      On June 28, 2023, Colorado Boulevard enters its tenth year.

      A big thank you goes to all writers, editors, designers and soldiers behind the scenes who enable us to be a major ethical, social and environmental voice locally, regionally and nationally.

      With renewed responsibilities bestowed upon us with our print editions, readership growth as well as creative and technical expansion, we vow to keep energizing the local scene by focusing on quality vs. quantity, and fighting imposters in order to inform, educate, and better our communities.

      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.
