Greater Park Hill News Joins #newsCOneeds Campaign To Keep Local Journalism Alive And Thriving

Every month for 62 years – rain, snow, sunshine or pandemic – the award-winning Greater Park Hill News has brought you the news of the neighborhood. We rely on our advertisers — who are the best and most loyal in town — to keep us in the black. We have a unique blockworker program that allows us to distribute the newspaper for free, to 13,000 homes and businesses. (Click here for more on that.)
Yet, as is true for many newspapers, the pandemic and other economic realities have inspired — indeed, necessitated us — to broaden our funding base. That brings us to you, dear readers.
This month, we have joined forces with 33 other media outlets throughout Colorado as part of a month-long campaign spotlighting the need for trustworthy, independent journalism. From now until Dec. 31, the Denver-based Colorado Media Project will match, dollar-for-dollar, the first $5,000 that we raise.
The campaign — called #newsCOneeds — is designed to inspire people to support long-term sustainability of public-service journalism, which informs and engages communities and strengthens civic engagement statewide. For the first $5,000 we raise, we will get $5,000 more from the Colorado Media Project — and we are hoping to raise even more. All the money will go toward continuing and building our newspaper operations.
Your support enables us to continue to deliver critical news of the neighborhood – from in-depth news and thoughtful information about local government, libraries and schools, to opinions and stories that highlight local businesses, culture, characters and happenings in Denver’s best neighborhood.
Whether it’s $5 or $500, every contribution will help, and is appreciated. Click HERE to donate..
Thanks for helping to keep your neighborhood newspaper thriving and free to readers!
