Decrying ‘photocopy journalism’, news watchdog spotlights Denver TV station merger
The sprawling greater-Denver metro region is in news-media crisis. In the information age, when there seems to be more and more to know, there is less and less being reported by the diminishing number of local mainstream news outlets here.
