Support Local Journalism

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” When a paltry 6 companies control almost all of our media, this phrase becomes independent media’s battle cry.

In a world where misinformation often masquerades as fact, and it’s harder than ever to discern truth from falsehood, independent media like Yellow Scene Magazine works to find the truth.

Since 2001, Yellow Scene  has upheld a strict division between advertising and editorial, ensuring our journalism remains free from outside influence. For over 24 years (25 in 2025), we’ve equipped you, our readers with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions on topics like local elections, school policies, or community developments.

Our award-winning investigative journalism drives real change. From exposing transparency lapses with the City of Boulder Police Oversight Panel coverage, YS tackles critical issues. We require live, recorded candidate interviews for our Election Guide—unique in our area—which ensures voters get unrehearsed answers.

When institutions go silent, YS seeks answers, as shown by our lawsuit against the City of Boulder, which secured public access to police body camera footage.

Our work plays a vital role in fostering public engagement and protecting community interests—and remains free to readers because democracy dies behind a paywall. YS remains unbought and unbossed.

With your support, we will continue to bring you independent, non-profit journalism for decades to come.

For just $24 a month—one dollar for each of our 24 years—you’ll help sustain fearless, independent, journalism that keeps you informed and your community empowered, with the monthly print copy delivered to your mailbox! Prefer a lighter commitment? For $8 a month, we will deliver the monthly edition – we want everyone to read it!  Online is always free from paywalls.

Thanks to your partnership, YS can continue to provide award-winning, investigative journalism that matters to you. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Please help keep supporting local journalism by sharing this campaign!
