NEW: Conservative billionaire Phil Anschutz to launch the Denver Gazette, an online daily, continuing to expand the @csgazette brand. Anschutz’s media company has the rights to the former Rocky Mountain News but is using the Gazette name instead. #9News 9news.com/mobile/article…
The Denver Gazette, launching September 14, will go behind a $9.99/mo paywall after three months. It will include daily archival content from the Rocky. It promises a full newspaper experience online, not a niche product.
I asked publisher Chris Reen why they decided not to revive the Rocky brand. “We have invested an enormous amount in the Gazette brand, in our journalists, in our journalism,” Reen said.
The Denver Gazette will mirror the conservative editorial tone of Anschutz’s @csgazette. “We are going to present really well thought out arguments every single day and we think the Denver market is looking for an alternative voice,” Reen said. Our conversation airs on #HeyNext.
The Gazette is printed in Denver - and while Reen sidestepped a question about whether they *considered printing a physical paper, he made clear the Denver Gazette will be an online-only product: “Those are all legacy costs that we don’t think we need in a new venture like this.”
Unlike many media startups, the Denver Gazette aims to cover everything from breaking news to sports to politics. That’s an expensive proposition but they can rebrand work done by @csgazette and @colo_politics writers. Reen said there are new hires but declined to say how many.
The timing of the launch of the Denver Gazette, which will not go behind a paywall until after Election Day, offers Anschutz’s Clarity Media Group an additional platform for its staunch defense of @SenCoryGardner and longtime criticism of @Hickenlooper in their Senate race.
Reen says the Denver Gazette will feature a daily editorial on Colorado issues as well as a national editorial (presumably from the @dcexaminer, a sister publication).
Wrapping up with disclosures: Clarity Media’s @colo_politics is a content sharing partner of 9News and Clarity Media’s @csgazette has described me as a “liberal political activist.” Chris Reen, publisher of Clarity Media’s Denver Gazette, is my guest on #HeyNext tonight.

NEW: A statement from Colorado Secretary of State @JenaGriswold (D) moves closer to taking responsibility for her office's leak of voting machine passwords. "I am regretful for this error," Griswold said in the statement. #copolitics
@JenaGriswold Griswold told 9NEWS last week that only her office was investigating her office's security breach. @GovOfCo Polis (D) called for an outside investigation. Griswold's office now says it has retained "a well-regarded law firm to conduct an outside investigation."
The SOS's office did not name the outside law firm. I've asked. They say Griswold's office "will release any findings as the law permits." Colorado open records law has broad carve-outs that could block the release of most or all of the probe. I've asked if they'll do that.

NEW: @GovofCO Polis (D) announces Colorado will deploy “human capital, air and ground assets, and other logistical support” to help SOS @JenaGriswold (D) change leaked voting system passwords statewide. #copolitics
The password changes and review of logs/video for potential tampering is a process that must occur on-site in impacted county clerk offices. SOS has declined to say how many. Goal is to complete work tonight
Griswold did not inform county election clerks that her office had posted voting machine passwords online for months and did not begin the process of changing the leaked passwords until after the security breach became public.

NEW: Spokesperson for Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) confirms that "partial passwords" for Colorado voting systems were inadvertently posted online. The @ColoGOP first flagged the issue. #copolitics
The @ColoGOP says SOS @JenaGriswold (D) must comply with a list of election integrity demands or the GOP will call on county clerks to decertify the impacted voting machines. Image
@cologop @JenaGriswold SOS Griswold's office says there is no "immediate security threat" because no one could have used the leaked passwords to compromise voting systems unless they obtained physical access to the equipment through ID-badged secure rooms that are video-monitored. Image

Aurora Fire tells me capacity for the Trump rally is about 10,300. The guy with the clicker at the door says 1,500 entered in the first hour. Two hours until Trump speaks. Imagine it will be packed. I’ll thread updates from the rally here. #copolitics Image

NEW: Tina Peters’ sentencing in her election system tampering case has started. I’ll thread details here. Or watch live: #copolitics 9news.com/mobile/article…Image
Peters’ attorney asks for a sentence of probation instead of prison. Calls the prosecution highly politicized. Not sure how well that will go over with the judge, who wasn’t interested in political speeches during the trial. A pastor is now speaking on Peters’ behalf.
The pastor asks the judge to remand Peters into the custody of his church in California with a promise that she won’t be involved in Colorado politics anymore. Three people who were supposed to speak for Peters haven’t shown up, so now the people are speaking for the prosecution.

NEW: Colorado has a new welcome sign, of sorts. The billboard at the CO-WY state line warning "Venezuela Ahead, Be Prepared!" bears the name of Donald Trump's biggest billionaire megadonor. #copolitics 9news.com/article/news/p…
The billboard says “Paid for by Clipper Properties, LLC, Tim Mellon, Member.” Mellon gave $125M to a pro-Trump super PAC. The NYT describes Mellon as a "reclusive billionaire" whose autobiography said Blacks became "even more belligerent" after the expansion of social programs.
9NEWS has not independently confirmed that the Tim Mellon who paid for the billboard is the conservative megadonor of the same name. The law firm for the LLC hung up the phone repeatedly when Mellon's name was mentioned.
