“Our motto “Dig Deeper” is, like our namesake, a tribute to the city’s vibrant past. The Steel City was built by hard-working, dedicated and powerful laborers, and it is to those founding fathers that we tip our hats with The Dig.
Additionally, “dig deeper” is a journalistic trope, encouraging and empowering the writer to ask the next question, push the next boundary and seek out the next level of details. By digging deeper, we commit to pushing past the superficial and providing our readers with the most accurate, thought-provoking and comprehensive news in the Steel City.”
Pueblo Star Journal Vision

Educating young talent and growing Pueblo’s best and brightest, through a comprehensive internship program and our partnerships with local educational institutions.
Now, we need you to Dig Deep
We don't have a paywall, but that doesn't mean we don't need your support.
Our website doesn't look like other newspaper websites. We don't want it to.
Built from the ground up using reliable digital architecture and local, southern Colorado web hosting, PuebloStarJournal.com is designed to be a different animal. You'll find many of the same things you'll find at other news websites - ads (please don't block them! We promise to avoid the most irritating and intrusive forms like popups and screen takeovers), articles, event calendars, sections like News, Culture, Voice and Sport, and more.
Things we plan to do that break the mold a bit include Spanish text translations and audio versions of important stories, as well as moderated commenting - something that has been eliminated entirely by many corporate newsrooms. We believe it's important Pueblo has a voice in everything we cover and we know our product will be richer for every quality interaction.
Our site was built with care to shine on any device you use. We didn't choose a cookie-cutter design theme; instead, we craft every page on our site by hand to stand out and offer a unique experience.
Every PSJ reporter and columnist has their own homepage on our site, designed to be a visually dynamic portfolio to enhance, or even launch, their career (and we won't delete them or their content when they move on). A robust search mechanism recalls the feeling of flicking through the library card catalogs and microphotograph archives of the past, to inform Puebloans of the future.
Need a hardcopy of one of our articles? Print away. All you'll see on the page will be the story itself - no ads or other online elements. And while we embrace mobile technology, we haven't left desktop browsers behind - printing and social media sharing are easy everywhere, even as other websites eliminate such iconic buttons entirely because they're built into phones and tablets.
Our email newsletters - comprising a regular blast with every print edition, an Evening Edition with exclusive content and special announcements as situations warrant - will be a key product. We promise not to fill your inboxes with junk or sell your information to other entities.
All of it - the informative newsletters, in-depth and quick-hit news on the web and print, in any format you need - is free. When you lock up real news, fake news flourishes and everyone is diminished.
