The Denver North Star is a monthly newspaper and website that has been published in the Northwest Denver, Colorado, area starting in October 2019. The North Star has a hyperlocal focus on issues like parks and recreation, elections, education, dining, zoning, and development.

History

There has been tumult in the Denver print media ecosystem over the preceding decade. Examples include the Rocky Mountain News shutting down in 2009, layoffs and reductions at The Denver Post by Digital First Media, and the 2017 closure of the North Denver Tribune (the local newspaper of record for the area). The North Star emerged to fill a void left by the now-defunct North Denver Tribune, which served the area for 83 years.[2]

North Star founders and publishers, David Sabados and Sabrina D'Agosta, were both candidates for Denver's District 1 City Council seat in 2019. Though neither won the election, both saw a need for local journalism covering issues affecting the community.[3]

Distribution

The North Star delivers door-to-door to homes and businesses, and is also made available through newspaper boxes around Northwest Denver. In particular, the newspaper targets neighborhoods west of I-25 from West Colfax Avenue to Regis University. This includes neighborhoods such as: Sloan's Lake, West Colfax, Jefferson Park, the Highlands, Sunnyside, Berkeley, and Chaffee Park. Print editions of the paper can be delivered for a subscription fee or accessed on-line for free.[4]
