Nonprofit Longmont Observer provides update


The Longmont Observer offered an update and a call for donations on its site Aug. 21.
The publication is one of a number of nonprofit news organizations that have sprung up in Colorado recently following numerous media-ownership changes in the state.
The Observer was launched in March 2017.
“Sergio Angeles and Scott Converse set out to revive local news in Longmont,” said the site on its beginnings. “They believe in a local paper that is interested in the voices of the residents it serves. They felt that the best model for such a news source would be a nonprofit organization.”
The site offers a history of newspapers in the city.
The first article went online in April of 2017. Since then the Longmont Observer has steadily grown its readership, the paper says. Recent numbers show that 14 percent of Longmont (a city of around 93,000) is reading the paper, the paper says.
