About Us

The NoCo Herald is a local news publication for Northern Colorado. Our mission is simple: cover the civic life of our communities — the meetings, decisions, and announcements that shape daily life — at a time when the local-news industry can no longer cover all of it.

Over the past two decades, newsrooms across the country have shrunk or closed, leaving "news deserts" where city councils, school boards, and county agencies operate with little public scrutiny. The Herald exists to help fill those gaps. We are not here to replace journalists or traditional newsrooms — we are here to cover the ground they no longer have the resources to reach, and to point readers back to the primary record so they can see it for themselves.

How our articles are made

The Herald's articles are generated by artificial intelligence, working exclusively from first-party, primary sources: government press releases, city council and county commission meeting videos and agendas, official records, public filings, and similar original material.

We never source our reporting from other news organizations' articles. We do not rewrite, summarize, or repackage other outlets' work. Everything we publish traces back to a public, primary source. You can read more about how this works, and its limits, on our Ethical AI page.

Who we are

The NoCo Herald is published by Amalgamated Hams LLC, a Colorado company doing business as The NoCo Herald. We welcome corrections, questions, and tips from the community.
