Media Kits

The locally owned Independent is the second largest paper in El Paso County with 37,500+ papers distributed every Thursday at more than 950+ high-traffic locations. Our editorial staff has won more than 100 awards for excellence in investigative reporting and feature writing.

Colorado Springs is now the 46th most populous, and the 17th fastest growing city in the country, with a population of more than a 650,000. We're proud to say that the Independent is outpacing the rapid growth of the market while the daily's circulation is down.

Our 142,000+ loyal readers don't have to go far to find a copy of this week's paper. You'll find the Independent every Thursday where people eat, shop, work and play.
