The Local Color story

Local Color is your monthly magazine. It's about your town, your neighbors, your news, your events. There are thousands of stories in this city. You know some of them from your daily doings. Feel free to share them with us and help us tell them to the rest of Brighton. This magazine is for and about you. We hope you become major contributors of news, viewpoints, poetry and fiction and events.

We published the first issue of Local Color in September 2004 to bring Brighton together by sharing news and information about our community and our neighbors with high-quality reporting. We have many more stories yet to tell. We hope you'll join us as readers, subscribers and contributors. Together we can celebrate Brighton with an interactive Web site and publication.

Your editor and publisher

Local Color is locally owned and operated. Editor Mark Humbert has been a journalist for nearly four decades (yes, he started working for a city weekly while still in high school, becoming its city editor when a senior). He has worked in daily newspapers for the last 30 years and has served in nearly every possible position on "news side," as reporter, copy editor, city editor, managing editor. Humbert has won numerous statewide awards in Colorado and New Mexico for his work. And, perhaps most important, he agreed when his wife and co-publisher Allison Lockwood said, "It's time to start the magazine." Contact Humbert at mark@localcolormag.com or 720-937-6064.

Publisher Lockwood has been a working journalist for only a little more than three decades (not because she's younger than Humbert but because she waited until after college to begin her professional career). She has worked in daily newspapers, magazines and nonprofit communications on "news side" and "advertising side" as reporter, advertising manager, managing editor, marketing manager and public information officer. Lockwood has dreamed of starting Local Color magazine for her community for years. With your enthusiasm and support, they are living her dream.
Contact Lockwood at allison@localcolormag.com or 303-669-2044.
