Colorado Public TV Station Launches Non-Profit Investigative News Division
--------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Colorado, a Denver public television station has announced plans for
a non-profit investigative news division. KBDI-TV says it hopes to raise
$400,000 to launch a website and on-air program focused on investigative
reporting. The operation will be called Colorado Public News. Organizers
say it’s a response to a decline in investigative journalism nationwide
and in Denver, where the newspaper Rocky Mountain News closed down
earlier this year.
