There are newspapers in Colorado that are surviving because of the hard work, creativity, and passion of the owners and publishers.

DENVER — In 2009, when the Rocky Mountain News disappeared,. No one reads the actual paper, they insisted – everyone is online.But now, more than a decade later, newspapers are making a comeback, especially in small towns and rural areas of Colorado.

“Corruption can spread, corporate malfeasance can go up,” said Colorado College Journalism Professor Corey Hutchins. He covers the stories, takes the pictures, writes, edits, puts it all together and emails it to a printing company near Chicago. When they mail him the papers back, he even delivers them.

It’s archaic, not very efficient, and it works because Coombs bought 42 hundred pounds of parts online, after similar machines were retired.He thinks it’s one of only two working linotype machines in the world – the other is somewhere in France, he says. “I get that question almost endlessly,” he says. “I answer that question kinda like parents talking to their children. I say we’ll see, and that is the truth. I don’t know.

All the successful papers concentrate or their communities core news – city government, schools, the police beat and sports.
