▶ FULL STORY

As some Post journalists saw a third of their colleagues get laid off, they sprung into action to create a newsroom that truly served the people of Colorado, without a paywall and free of out-of-state influence that only focused on the bottom line. 

Now, PBS is sharing The Sun’s story in a documentary called “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink.” It tells viewers about how a handful of journalists rebelled against their hedge fund owner, Alden Global Capital, as it guts newspapers nationwide.
