When six corporations control nearly all U.S. media, independent journalism becomes an act of public service. Like sidewalks and streetlights, local news is a vital resource for our community. It keeps neighbors informed, connected, and engaged.

For 25 years, Yellow Scene Magazine has kept Boulder County and the North Metro informed — unbought and unbossed. Our only boss is you. We believe news should be accessible and free of outside influence: there’s no paywall, no quid pro quo, and we’re never afraid to ask the hard questions.

Our reporting does much more than tell stories; it sets precedents. From exposing transparency lapses in Boulder’s Police Oversight Panel to a lawsuit now headed to the Colorado Supreme Court over access to police body-cam footage, Yellow Scene fights for open government and public accountability — proving that local journalism has statewide impact.

This year-end fundraiser is part of a statewide Matching Grant supporting independent newsrooms like ours. Your contribution keeps our communities connected and informed, while ensuring journalism remains free from outside influence.
