Independent News. Media Platform. Free, Open Source Site.
Since the beginning, Leadville Today has used these phrases to describe what we do, navigating the ever-changing, rapidly-progressing world of journalism and reporting. From the business news on Leadville’s historic Harrison Avenue to southern Lake County happenings in Twin Lakes to the traffic and weather reports, providing real-time conditions for the hundreds that commute over mountain passes, Leadville Today has been bringing residents, second homeowners and visitors the news-you-can-use-for more than 8 years.
- Since the beginning, LT has stayed true to its tagline: With the history of Leadville in our hearts, And the future of Leadville in our hands: Leadville Today.
- Since the beginning, LT has written small town stories about big-hearted people doing great things. LT intentionally puts Leadville and Lake County in a good light. We believe that what you focus on expands. However, when the situation warrants the coverage when public safety is at hand, LT will get out of that lane and brings readers that news.
- Since the beginning, LT has offered a free, open news format that is available to all without having to provide any personal information. People can simply log-on or connect through a variety of LT’s social media platforms. LT’s daily readership is consistently in the hundreds with many popular posts being seen by thousands through trending and search engine capabilities.
- Since the beginning, LT has offered affordable advertising for businesses and organizations to get the word about their goods, services, and events. It is by far the best value in reaching the Leadville/Lake County market especially as LT’s readership and social media reach continue to grow.
- Since the beginning, LT has offered a free subscription for those who want to get an email with each new post to the website. Now numbering in the thousands, subscribers still get their daily notifications at no cost.
- Since the beginning, Leadville Today has provided fresh, original content readers are not likely to find anywhere else. It’s information presented in a modern-day format, using traditional, fact-vetting methods to get to the truth of the matter instead of simply publishing a standard press release or reinvented narrative.
- Since the beginning, LT has run a lean, mean business model. Whether it’s time or money, both resources are held to a proven return on investment scale that produces maximum results. LT works with dozens of contributors, bloggers, photographers and drone pilots. This model allows for a variety of styles and perspectives from residents and visitors alike. And yes, depending on the work/assignment LT does maintain a budget to compensate contributors. That is important.
As Leadville Today sets its sight on the next chapter, we don’t anticipate that any of those facts will change. LT has seen a steady, organic growth from the beginning; it was part of the business plan.
That said, people continually ask how they can support Leadville Today. Some have time, some have resources and some have hard cold cash. LT welcomes them all and we’ve outlined specific ways that you can support this independent news source. We humbly thank you for that and renew our pledge to bring you the news you can use…With the history of Leadville in our heart and the future of Leadville in our hands: Leadville Today
