The San Juan Independent, a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News, aims to elevate journalism in our mountain home. We believe that small towns have big stories but know that small papers don’t always have the resources to cover them deeply. So, in contrast to the traditional community news model, we’re backing away from the day-to-day ballgames and bellwethers to focus on the slower-moving scoops that span our region. The San Juans’ environment, economy and community are more complex than a glimpse of a local council meeting can capture and so, instead, we endeavor to produce rich accounts that analyze the full arc of an issue. We hold journalism to be a public service that fuels debate and democracy, and seek to give our public the best information possible.
