I started a small internet news contractor with multiple of our friends from the Denver media.
My journalism work started right here in Denver, Colorado over 12 years ago, then i was a writer & photographer at the time, fresh out of school & trying to climb the ladder in the world of journalism. I undoubtedly don’t guess what I was thinking, because even after that I all knew that print journalism was slowly dying, but still, Denver was house to multiple reputable publications so I moved here to ply our trade! The first big story I covered was in 2012, when Colorado first legalized cannabis for people over the age of 21… You remember seeing the picture of a Girl Scout who set up his cookie table in front of a cannabis dispensary? I took that picture to sell to the local Denver newspapers! After that I had a brief however successful run as a photographer for the local Denver news media, although I had the sense to transfer on before the work dried up. I started a small internet news contractor with multiple of our friends from the Denver media. The two of us wanted to use blogs & vlogs to tell stories about Colorado, instead of working for the major news outlets. This would give us the freedom to explore the real faces of Denver. The two of us found funding from one of the major cannabis companies that is based in Denver, & while it wasn’t much it was enough to get our channel off the ground. It will take a lot of time & effort to elevate our status, however eventually the two of us hope to be the top independent news outlet in Denver, & the rest of Colorado.
