      A bit of a long thread coming up, but it’s an issue I’ve felt strongly about my entire career—and even more so over the last few years, as we’ve seen a shift away from edited content toward partisan press.

      When I was Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, Rocky Mountain News & @DenverPost held each other accountable—resulting in accurate, high-quality journalism. I often say my job would have been very different were it not for reliable & objective local press.

      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/ …

      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.

      We stand with @DenverPost journalists–& journalists around our state/country–who are doing everything in their power to salvage newsrooms while continuing to inform communities. Thanks for all of your hard work to defend free press, use edited content & preserve our civic future.

          Will continue to read Post every morning. Used to read Post & Rocky every morning, but Post is a shadow of what Denver newspapers used to be. For years now, it's biases have been annoying as has been its tendency to ignore stories it should cover, but chooses to ignore.

          Many years ago election officials in northern CO were returning republican voter registration forms with errors for correction and throwing away democratic forms with errors. 1/2

          The conservative @reporterherald called out the officials and ended the illegal practice. Local press is incredibly important for our democracy!

          I love The Post and do not want to see it disappear. Should we voice our displeasure to Alden Global Capital? Will it do any good seeing as it always boils down to the bottom line with hedge funds? I still subscribe. #TheDenverPost

          Sheesh Harriet - CPR and NPR are on the corporate dole too. They are not what they used to be.

          Yeah, it sucks when a venture capital firm buys & starts cutting--like your corporate friends always do. You should talk to them at the next Third Way meeting.

          But what can we do to stop it, nothing. And there is a study out saying w/o fair local press you are at the mercy of partisan sources.
