TownReporter: Longmont's source-hunting civic paper
An independent, human-edited newsroom covering Longmont meetings, money, housing, infrastructure, elections, and public records.
Field notes
TownReporter uses a topic-based local-news structure covering council, budgets, housing, schools, planning, infrastructure, elections, and opinion. Its reporting method is visibly source-conscious: the homepage compares agency announcements, meeting video, public portals, and other outlets, including a claim that PrimeGov has no minutes for an August 18 LURA meeting. The current edition contains several dated investigations rather than a single evergreen civic guide, and the site exposes both a corrections link and an RSS feed.
