Local News for Johnstown, by People Who Live Here
Johnstown Republic was created with a simple goal: to provide reliable, timely, and community-focused news for Johnstown, Colorado.
Johnstown is growing quickly. New neighborhoods, businesses, developments, elections, schools, and town decisions affect our community every day. Too often, important information is difficult to find, buried in social media comments, or only covered after the fact. Johnstown Republic exists to help fill that gap.
We believe local news should be:
- Accurate
- Transparent
- Fair
- Easy to understand
- Focused on the issues that matter to the people who live here
Our goal is not to tell you what to think. Our goal is to make sure you have the information you need.

Our Commitment
Johnstown Republic is committed to:
Being Transparent
We will clearly separate news reporting from opinion. When something is a fact, we will say so. When something is opinion, analysis, or commentary, we will label it.
Correcting Mistakes
If we get something wrong, we will correct it. We would rather be accurate than be first.
Covering All Sides
Most local issues are more complicated than a headline or a Facebook post. We will do our best to provide context, explain the background, and include multiple viewpoints.
