2026 Summer Support Drive | Journalism That Answers to Readers

Independent Journalism Starts With Independent Support

For 26 years, Yellow Scene has remained fiercely independent.

As Boulder County and the North Metro’s only independent, locally owned news platform, we have asked difficult questions, fact-checked powerful institutions, and covered the stories shaping our communities.

Because journalism matters. Whether the story is unfolding in Washington or at your local Town Hall.

Yellow Scene remains free from quid pro quo, free from corporate ownership, and free from outside boards shaping editorial direction. We answer to our readers. That independence matters now more than ever.

But independence is not free.

Reader-driven support keeps local journalism unbought and unbossed, and our journalists fed.

Our goal is ambitious: 1,000 Sustaining Supporters by the end of summer.

Monthly support of $8, $80, $800, or $8 million gets Yellow Scene delivered to your home and strengthens independent, local journalism.

The first 50 new Sustaining Supporters will receive either a complimentary pint from Cellar West Brewery or a free pass to The Spot.

Producing honest journalism has never been easy. But keeping it independent is worth protecting.

If Yellow Scene has informed you, challenged you, made you think, or helped you better understand your community, we hope you’ll stand with us. Become a supporter today.
