The Coloradoan is a daily newspaper in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Coloradoan's website is updated throughout the day with breaking news and video coverage of community news in Northern Colorado.
History
Founded by Joseph L. McClelland in 1873 as Larimer County Express, Fort Collins Newspapers Inc. was established in 1937 when Speidel Newspapers acquired the publication known as The Express-Courier. The Coloradoan moved from its Old Town Fort Collins location to 1212 Riverside Avenue on the city's east side in 1974. Gannett acquired the newspaper when it merged with Speidel in 1977.
In 2004, Gannett began construction on a new $6 million facility on property adjacent to their Riverside site. In June 2005, advertising, circulation, human resources, news and technology staffs moved into 1300 Riverside Avenue. The Coloradoan moved from Riverside Avenue in 2023 to 2850 McClelland Drive, whose street was named for the founding editor of the Larimer County Express.
The executive editor of the Coloradoan is David Dishman [1]. Previous editors included Eric Larsen, Lauren Gustus, Josh Awtry, Bob Moore, Michael Limon and Dave Greiling.
Daily paper
The Coloradoan focuses on local news in its A section, with state and national news as well.
Sports includes local high school coverage, CSU and semi-pro teams around the area, CU football and basketball, as well as Denver pro teams and national sports.
There is also a daily national and sports section from USA TODAY, including national and international news.
Windsor Beacon
The Coloradoan once published the Windsor Beacon, a small newspaper that served Windsor, Colorado since 1896. It ceased print publication in 2022. Windsor coverage is included in the Coloradoan, including select stories from the town board, business and development, and sports.
Extra editions
The Coloradoan printed an extra edition on November 18, 1991, upon the release of Beirut hostage Thomas Sutherland, a Fort Collins resident. The Coloradoan's banner headline read "He's Free". The newspaper also published an extra edition on September 11, 2001.
Digital Access
The Coloradoan website offers local content, an e-newspaper (digital version of the print newspaper), and content from across the USA Today Network. The site features digital storytelling, such as videos, podcasts, interactive maps and timelines. The Coloradoan is also available on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
