Our Community News Our Community News, Volunteers reporting on community issues in Monument, Palmer Lake, and the Tri-L

This all-volunteer newspaper written by and for Tri-Lakes area residents was launched in June 2001 by a group of Tri-Lakes area residents after concerns arose regarding the coverage of Tri-Lakes area news. Many stories including the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter project and the Monument Recall were being given biased or scant coverage by the local media. While the local commercial newspaper covere

d service clubs, etc., it didn't publish a calendar of upcoming public meetings. Residents only heard about major decisions after the meetings had been held. We concluded there was an urgent need to provide residents the information they need to get involved in the public process of addressing the significant challenges facing the Tri-Lakes area. Unlike the local commercial newspaper that is mostly staffed by people who live outside the Tri-Lakes area, everyone at Our Community News lives or owns a business in the Tri-Lakes area.
