Three newspapers with two different owners on Colorado’s Eastern Plains — the Plainsman Herald, the Burlington Record, and the Lamar Ledger — announced within days of each other that they will go out of business.
The development would knock out a significant source of original local news in multiple counties in a part of Colorado with an already thin local news and information ecosystem.
The Herald’s announcement last week was particularly brutal. The decision comes just weeks after a commercial TV mini-documentary about Colorado newspapers bouncing back and holding on prominently spotlighted the paper.
