Nexstar Tegna Merger Could Reshape Denver Journalism And Cut Off Local Voices

By Nicole Vap | The Colorado Sun Combining newsleaders 9News and Fox31 already has triggered a lawsuit and concerned experts — and not just because of what might happen to Kyle Clark. 9News started its run as the top-rated TV station in the Denver television market back in the late-1970s, and for decades each newscast ended with video of regular people holding up their index fingers to remind viewers (and competitors) who was No. 1.

Rocky Mountain Voice’s Most Viral Moments of 2025

Media Faces Backlash for Biased Coverage of Charlie Kirk Assassination

By Dan Schneider | The Daily Wire Even before Kirk’s assassination, President Trump was pushing broadcasters to restore balance to heal the political divide. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has further exposed media bias, with outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and ABC labeling him “divisive” or “controversial” while downplaying leftist rhetoric that may have fueled violence. Posts by liberal school teachers cheering Kirk’s death and comments from Democrat politicians like Jasmine Crockett and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker inciting unrest reveal a double standard. This tragedy may finally force the elite legacy media to confront the effect their far-left bias has had on America.

Hutchins: ‘Free press under fire’ isn’t just a panel title—it’s reality

By Corey Hutchins | Commentary, Inside the News in Colorado, Substack The free press is under fire. That was the theme of a public discussion in Colorado Springs about the ways in which the local journalism industry operates during a time of, shall we say, disruption. On the panel was Gazette Executive Editor Vince Bzdek, former Denver Post Editor Greg Moore, Rocky Mountain PBS CEO Amanda Mountain, Colorado Sun reporter and editor Jesse Paul, and KOAA News5 investigative journalist Alasyn Zimmerman. Will Stoller-Lee, the program chair for the Greenberg Center for Learning and Tolerance, moderated the discussion at the Ent Center for the Arts on the campus of UCCS.
