The Colorado Independent was a nonprofit, independent media organization, first reporting news via its online website that was started in July 2006, later revitalized again in September 2013 under new, Colorado-based management. The Colorado Independent, first called Colorado Confidential, was founded as part of a network of local state-based websites that covered regional news, focusing on local government and politics. The network of sites was run by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Independent Media, later called the American Independent News Network. AINN began shut down its websites in the spring of 2013 due to funding issues. With funding from two local Colorado foundations, editor Susan Greene and managing editor John Tomasic relaunched The Colorado Independent as an independent entity run in Colorado with broader reporting, a new design and a team of veteran journalists from The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. In addition to the two local Colorado foundations, The Gill Foundation and the Bohemian Foundation, The Colorado Independent was also supported by grants by the Zell Family Foundation, the Douglas H. Phelps Foundation, and individual online contributions by readers. More information...
