Rocky Mountain PBS: Every Friday, the newspaper arrives in Silverton the hard way.

It’s printed 60 miles away in Montrose, then hauled over Red Mountain Pass, through steep, winding roads before reaching a handful of kiosks in a town of 800 people. Other copies travel even farther, landing in mailboxes as far away as California and New York.

The Silverton Standard & Miner, founded in 1875, is one of the oldest continuously operating newspapers in Colorado, and one of the few small-town papers still committed to print. In recent years, several print newspapers in rural Colorado, particularly the eastern plains, have shuttered.
