Prairie Mountain Media operates as a U.S.-based publishing firm under the ownership of Digital First Media, which also controls The Denver Post. The parent company, Digital First Media, is overseen by Alden Global Capital, an entity recognized for implementing extensive budget reductions and workforce downsizing within its newspaper holdings.

History

The year 2006 saw a collaboration between E. W. Scripps Company and MediaNews Group, Inc. to jointly manage their Eastern Colorado newspaper assets, each partner holding an equal 50% share in the newly established Colorado Publishing Co.

By 2009, full ownership transferred to MediaNews Group, which subsequently rebranded the enterprise as Prairie Mountain Media.

Growth continued through strategic acquisitions, notably Lehman Communications in 2011 and the purchase of the Greeley Tribune from Swift Communications in 2020.

In June 2024, Prairie Mountain Media declared plans to shut down its printing facility in Berthoud, moving production operations to The Denver Post location and leading to the elimination of 40 jobs.
