Courier Staff

The past year has been especially challenging for the Left Hand Valley Courier, but we’ve emerged stronger than ever.

On April 1, 2022, we celebrated 25 years as your local newspaper - providing news coverage you can’t get anywhere else. Within two weeks, we experienced the loss of four key staff members - senior editors Mary Wolbach Lopert and Karen Copperberg retired after 25 years, editor Joceyln Rowley took a full-time position with a Loveland newspaper, and we mourned the unexpected death of advertising director Ann Whitehill.

We appealed to the community for help in filling those positions, and you responded. This issue features more profiles of the Courier staff of reporters, columnists and editors along with our business manager, advertising director and production designer. None of us do this full-time, but all of us believe in the value of community journalism in a rapidly changing world.

We can always use more help. If you’d like to join us, contact us at [email protected].
