Why it matters

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. Our only boss is you. We believe news should be accessible and free of outside influence: there’s no paywall, no quid pro quo, and we’re never afraid to ask the 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 headed to the Colorado Supreme Court over access to police body-cam footage, Yellow Scene fights for open government and public accountability — proving that local journalism can have statewide impact.

The Next Generation of Local News

“I left digital marketing because I wanted to do work that mattered,” says Peter Constas, Publisher’s Assistant at Yellow Scene. “Independent journalism isn’t easy, but it’s worth fighting for. I stay for the stories that hold power accountable and for the readers who remind me why this work matters.”

Peter represents the next generation of journalists committed to community truth-telling — the reason Yellow Scene continues to thrive after 25 years.
