The Colorado Sun was founded in September 2018 as a journalist-owned, reader-supported, nonpartisan news organization dedicated to producing in-depth coverage that sheds light on important places, policies and people in Colorado. We emphasize coverage of issues and places that often don’t get as much attention from others. Our mission is to produce statewide coverage for Colorado’s 5.8 million people. The Sun is a Public Benefit Corporation that always puts service first.
