Broomfield Enterprise
The Broomfield Enterprise is a weekly newspaper for Broomfield, Colorado. It is published on Sundays by Prairie Mountain Publishing, which is part of MediaNews Group.
Founded in 1975, with Roseann Doran as the founding editor, the paper has changed hands several times. In 1979 Mr. and Mrs. Albert Martin sold it to the Minneapolis Star & Tribune Co., and the circulation was about 12,000 at that time.
In 1991, Cowles Media Co. sold its Denver-suburb papers, known as the Sentinel chain, and Boulder Publishing Company (publisher of The Daily Camera) bought the Enterprise. The paper’s reporting in 1994 on Broomfield Mayor Bob Schulze’s use of a city-issued cell phone led to charges totaling $5,707 and contributed to his resignation.
By 1995, Boulder Publishing owned the Enterprise along with The Daily Camera. The paper was delivered free to residents and was known for strong coverage of government, business, schools, and sports. In 1997, it was listed among Knight Ridder holdings, and E. W. Scripps acquired the paper’s parent company that year. The Enterprise’s local reporting has been picked up by other newspapers.
