What Broomfield Enterprise does

Broomfield Enterprise is a privately held community newspaper and digital news outlet serving Broomfield County and surrounding Boulder County communities along Colorado's Front Range. The publication delivers local news, sports, high school athletics coverage, government, crime, education, health, politics, opinion, obituaries, and a community events calendar to local residents. It is owned and operated by Prairie Mountain Media, part of the MediaNews Group network of community newspapers, and shares corporate infrastructure, advertising sales, circulation, and legals operations with sister publications such as the Daily Camera and Colorado Hometown Weekly.

The core product is the broomfieldenterprise.com website, built on WordPress VIP, with an E-Edition digital replica of the print newspaper and a Business Spotlight sponsored content section. The site integrates Trinity Audio for text-to-speech article playback and uses AccuWeather for weather content. Revenue is generated through three principal streams: print and digital subscriptions (recurring), display and classified advertising (including obituaries, jobs, real estate, and legal notices), and branded/sponsored content partnerships. Distribution occurs via the free ad-supported website, the e-edition, a physical print newspaper, email newsletters, and social media channels (Facebook, X).

The newspaper operates with a small editorial and sales staff of approximately 10–15 people, including a publisher/VP of advertising and marketing, an editor, one named reporter, two sales consultants, and shared customer service/circulation support. Pricing for subscriptions is handled via circulation phone contact and is not publicly disclosed, while classified and legal advertising pricing is quote-based. Its position as a newspaper-of-record for Broomfield County underpins a portion of its revenue through mandatory public notice and legal advertising.
