By the end of 2025, BRL reached more than 22,000 subscribers roughly half of Boulder households strengthening its role as Boulder's leading source of independent local journalism. The newsroom also fostered civic participation through coverage of local elections, community events, and opportunities for readers to share questions and ideas that helped shape reporting priorities.

  • Produced deeply reported journalism on the most pressing issues facing Boulder County, including wildfire risk and resilience, housing affordability, homelessness, local government accountability, climate and environmental policy, and the future of federally funded science and research. Coverage included Boulder City Council and Boulder County Commission decisions, education policy, nonprofit governance, equity issues, major development debates, and the intersection of higher education, science and public policy. BRL's reporting informed community debate, helped residents better understand local decisions, and earned numerous state and regional journalism awards for excellence and impact.
    Expenses $108,695
  • Focused on strengthening the newsroom's long-term sustainability and expanding its editorial capacity.
