High Country News is a monthly independent magazine based in Paonia, Colorado, that covers environmental, social, and political issues in the Western United States.[2] Syndicated stories from High Country News have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, and other national publications.[2][3] The non-profit High Country News media organization also produces a website, special reports, and books.
Tom Bell, a Wyoming conservationist, rancher, and decorated World War II bombardier, started a newspaper in 1970 that would become the High Country News. He died at the age of 92 in 2016 in Lander, Wyoming, where he had founded High Country News.[4]
In 2017, High Country News became the first non-Native American publication to establish an Indigenous Affairs desk as part of an effort to attract new readers and improve their coverage of Native American issues.[5][6]
