About Citizen Report

ADVOCACY JOURNALISM THAT PROMOTES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE

Delta County Citizen Report is an apolitical, 501(c)(3) nonprofit media organization that focuses a fundamentally critical lens towards power by providing reporting and commentary on Delta County, Colorado government activities. We seek to promote community engagement that leads to transformational change. Our blogs include: Reports on County Commissioner public meetings, county projects, county development plans, county policies, and county budget and finance.

DCCR had adopted the advocacy journalism genre to provide a non-objective viewpoint for the social good. Our journalists reject that the traditional ideal of objectivity is possible in practice, either generally, or due to the presence of corporate or government sponsors in advertising or influence.
