Now the Rocky Mountain News is gone, and today over two dozen employees at
@DenverPost are being shown the door (after years of other major cuts). This editorial is worth a read, because, as the headline indicates, we must save the Denver Post:https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/06/as-vultures-circle-the-denver-post-must-be-saved/ …Show this thread -
As the Editorial Board points out: “Reduction in quality leads to a reduction of trust.” In a hyper-partisan &“fake news” oriented world, a lack of trust in local papers is the last thing our society needs. A free & vigilant press is essential to our function as a democracy.

Accountable? Neither EVER told the public of the extreme corruption
@DORAColorado or a single corrupt contractor license of the Front Range cities. If we had a reliable and objective press that didn't protect the wealthy and their corruption, you would not be a Senator.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Is that the long thread or is there more? Does your appreciation extend to national press? How do you view the DHS plan compiling journalists, bloggers, sources and views into a database for tracking?https://thinkprogress.org/trump-administration-planning-to-monitor-journalists-and-bloggers-ed3849c2d72d/ …
