Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Denver blog posts can feel drivers' pain.
At our Arts blog, Bree Davies vintage post suggesting ways to deal with Denver traffic, from irritating I-25 to the Sixth Avenue death trap, has just gone viral again — and it's more timely than ever.
At The Colorado Independent, Kyle Harris interviews 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Fenn, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Big Media's Jason Saltzman assembles a list of all the staffers who've left the Denver Post over the past year or so — and urges the paper to hire a new opinion writer to fill the slot vacated by Alicia Caldwell.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
