==Media== {{main|Media in Boulder, Colorado}} Boulder's main daily newspaper, the ''[[Daily Camera]]'', was founded in 1890 as the weekly ''Boulder Camera'', and became a daily newspaper in 1891. The ''[[Colorado Daily]]'' was started in 1892 as a university newspaper for CU Boulder. Following many heated controversies over ''Colorado Daily''{{'s}} political coverage, it severed its ties to the university in 1971. From 1996 to 2000, the ''Boulder Planet'' competed with the ''[[Boulder Weekly]]'' as a free weekly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://localhistory.boulderlibrary.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A57059?solr_nav%5Bid%5D=c166c0c2b04af831920f&solr_nav%5Bpage%5D=0&solr_nav%5Boffset%5D=4|title=Carnegie Library β Boulder Planet, 1996β2000|access-date=September 18, 2018|archive-date=August 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817124955/https://localhistory.boulderlibrary.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A57059?solr_nav%5Bid%5D=c166c0c2b04af831920f&solr_nav%5Bpage%5D=0&solr_nav%5Boffset%5D=4|url-status=live}}</ref> Newspaper conglomerate [[The E. W. Scripps Company|Scripps]] acquired the ''Colorado Daily'' in 2005 after its acquisition of the ''Camera'' in 1997, leaving the ''Boulder Weekly'' as the only locally owned newspaper in Boulder. Scripps relinquished its 50 percent ownership in both daily papers in early 2009 to Media News Group. ''Boulder Magazine'', a lifestyle magazine, was founded in 1978.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://brockpub.com/publications/boulder-magazine/|title=Boulder Magazine {{!}} Brock Publishing|language=en-US|access-date=September 18, 2018|date=May 8, 2014|archive-date=September 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918231118/http://brockpub.com/publications/boulder-magazine/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Boulder Magazine'' is published three times per year.
