The Colorado Media Project (CMP), housed within the University of Denver’s Project X-ITE. CMP is an ecosystem-level convener, facilitator, and coordinator that will work to bring capacity-building expertise and implementation support to local news outlets as a means to meet the local news and information needs of all Coloradans now and in the future.

Why We Invested:
