Yellow Scene Magazine

When six corporations control nearly all U.S. media, independent journalism becomes an act of public service.

For 25 years, Yellow Scene has kept Boulder County and the North Metro informed, unbought, and unbossed—no paywall, no sponsored content, and never afraid to ask hard questions.

Our reporting doesn’t just tell stories; it sets precedents. From exposing transparency lapses in Boulder’s Police Oversight Panel to a lawsuit now heading to the Colorado Supreme Court over access to police body-cam footage, Yellow Scene fights for open government and public accountability – to bring the news our community deserves.

We are the region’s last locally owned newsroom, and we keep our work free because we believe democracy dies behind a paywall.

Yellow Scene is honored to be part of a statewide Matching Grant supporting independent newsrooms. 

Your contribution keeps our communities connected, informed, and enables news free from outside influence!
