About The Denver Post
The Denver Post was founded in 1892 and is part of MediaNews Group. It covers news, politics, business, sports, opinion and things to do across Denver and Colorado.
Why a feature here matters
The Denver Post is one of the best-known newspapers in the Mountain West, so a feature there puts you in front of Colorado customers, employers, investors and civic leaders in a title they already read.
Best for: Colorado founders and business owners, physicians, lawyers, property and outdoor businesses, civic and nonprofit leaders, and experts with a local angle.
How coverage happens at The Denver Post
There are two ways in. You can approach the Post yourself: pitch the reporter who covers your subject using the desk contacts on its contact page, send guest commentary to the opinion desk through the route listed on its site, or write a letter to the editor. That route is free, but it is slow and the editors decide what runs. Stories without a real Colorado angle rarely get a reply. The second way is to work with DNA. We develop the angle with you, write the feature to the Post's standard and manage the placement. You approve every word before it goes live.
The kind of story that lands
The Denver Post is a Colorado paper first, so the story needs real local stakes. Its business pages suit founders and executives explaining what growth, housing or a state decision means for jobs and customers. Its opinion pages suit experts with a clear view on a live Colorado issue, not advocacy for their own organisation. Things to do suits restaurants, venues, arts organisations and outdoor businesses with something genuinely new. Health and education stories work when they explain what changes for people in the state. Strong pieces carry named people, local detail and a reason a Coloradan should care now. National commentary with a Colorado name added does not fit.
How to Get Featured in The Denver Post
To get featured in The Denver Post, you either give one of its reporters a Colorado story they want to cover, submit an op-ed or letter for its opinion editors to consider, or have a feature developed and placed with professional help. Every route works best with a genuine Denver or Colorado angle.
The do-it-yourself routes are free, but the editors decide what runs. DNA offers another way in: we develop the story with you, write it to the Post's standard, manage the placement, and you approve every word before it goes live.
What The Denver Post is
The Denver Post was founded in 1892 and is one of the best-known daily newspapers in the Mountain West. It is part of MediaNews Group. Its reporting covers Denver, the Front Range and the rest of Colorado, from state politics and growth to the outdoors and the city's sports teams.
What The Denver Post covers
The site is organised around the subjects Colorado readers care about:
- News and politics: Denver, the suburbs, the state legislature and Colorado's place in national politics.
- Business: Colorado companies, jobs, housing, real estate and the economy.
- Sports: the Broncos, Nuggets, Avalanche and Rockies, plus college and high school sport.
- Things to do: food and drink, arts, entertainment and the outdoors.
- Opinion: editorials, columns, guest commentary and letters.
How to get featured in The Denver Post
For news coverage, find the reporter who covers your subject, read their recent work and send a short, factual note with what is new and why it matters to Coloradans. The paper lists contact details for its desks on its contact page. Business stories need local stakes: jobs, growth, housing, a decision that affects customers in the state. Lifestyle stories need something genuinely new for people who live here.
How to submit an op-ed to The Denver Post
The Post's opinion desk accepts guest commentary through the route listed on its site, and its guidance there sets out what it expects. In general, strong op-eds come from people with real expertise or direct experience, take a clear position on a live Colorado issue, and offer something readers have not already heard. Pieces that mainly promote an organisation rarely run.
How to submit a letter to the editor
Letters to the editor are submitted through the route listed on the Post's opinion pages. Keep a letter brief, respond to something the paper has published or to a current local issue, and include the identifying details the paper asks for so it can be verified.
Obituaries and death notices
News obituaries are written by the newsroom about people whose lives were of wide public interest. Family-placed obituaries and death notices are handled separately, through the obituary service linked from the Post's site, where families can write and place a notice themselves.
What makes a strong piece for The Denver Post
Local relevance comes first. A Denver founder on what the housing squeeze means for hiring, a physician on a public health issue in rural Colorado, or an outdoor brand rooted in the mountains all fit. National commentary with a Colorado name added does not. For a national comparison, see how stories are shaped for USA Today.
How the process works
With DNA, the work runs in four steps. We check whether your story has a real Colorado angle and say so if it does not. You share the substance. We draft the feature to the Post's standard and revise it with you. Once you approve every word, we manage the placement and send you the live link.
How long it takes
Expect weeks rather than days for a feature, allowing for the angle, drafting, your review and the placement. We do not promise dates we cannot control.
