The Surveyor

The Berthoud Weekly Surveyor is entering its twentieth year as a trusted local newspaper. Covering a vibrant and growing community, the Surveyor is committed to providing impactful reporting that informs and answers questions that are important to Berthoud.

Delivering local news to readers requires not just reporters, but also subscribers. Consider subscribing to the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor for $45 a year if you live in the 80513 zip code. If you already subscribe, consider converting a friend or gifting a subscription to someone you know.

Supporting local journalism is important so here are four great reasons to subscribe to the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor.

Firstly, we regularly inform the public about events, stories and developments in and around Berthoud. At our weekly staff meetings, we do not just discuss who is writing what or interviewing who, we ask each other about what’s happening in Berthoud.

Many of our best stories start from organic conversations we have in and outside the building. The staff at the Surveyor always keep our collective eyes and ears peeled for what is happening in your town.

Acting as a watchdog on local, county, state and even federal government is another major pillar of the Surveyor. Each week, our reporters spend hours watching planning commission, school board, town board or county commissioner meetings to ensure our readers know what our elected officials are and are not doing.

Related to that is the need for political news coverage from a neutral news source. On Tuesday, Berthoud held local elections for mayor and three trustee positions. The Surveyor interviewed and profiled all seven candidates who ran, producing a profile and podcast on each. We believe it is vital for voters in Berthoud to know who is running for office and what their policies are.

Lastly, the Surveyor has a strong commitment to shining a light on non-profit organizations in the area and having a presence in the community. From veteran groups to churches, we are committed to ensuring we are not just a business in town but a part of the community.

So if you like reading the Surveyor, consider subscribing!
