Join us on Thursday, June 23, 2022 for a community celebration and fundraiser to benefit the new Pueblo Star Journal newspaper. Enjoy local Pueblo food, music and art!

The tagline for the Pueblo Star Journal is Dig Deeper. You may have already noticed that at the end of every article in the print newspaper, you will discover a little shovel. We have asked a group of local artists to use their creative genius to transform ordinary garden trowels and large shovels into works of art for a very special live auction at the fundraising event. To date the artists include:

• Teresa Vito
• Jean Latka
• Tom Latka
• Joshua Soto
• Kim Pluskota
• James Beck
• Jeff Madeen
• Matte Refic

You won't want to miss this fun and unique opportunity to own your own PSJ shovel. We hope you will join us for this special event at Watertower Place.

About the Pueblo Star Journal

Our Mission:

To chronicle the Pueblo community while championing accountability, stimulating curiosity and supporting connections.

Our Vision:

• Establishing lines of accountability of individuals and institutions of power through our reporting, forums and debates.
• Encouraging community engagement through reader-driven events, information-gathering forums and comprehensive listings focusing on arts, athletic and volunteer opportunities.
• Curating a comprehensive database of government information, highlighting the critical details citizens need to engage with and participate in their school and municipal systems.
• Fostering economic growth and development by shining a spotlight on the business and nonprofit communities.
• Educating young talent and growing Pueblo’s best and brightest, through a comprehensive internship program and our partnerships with local educational institutions.

Digging Deeper:

Our motto "Dig Deeper" is, like our namesake, a tribute to the city's vibrant past. The Steel City was built by hard-working, dedicated and powerful laborers, and it is to those founding fathers that we tip our hats with The Dig.

Additionally, "dig deeper" is a journalistic trope, encouraging and empowering the writer to ask the next question, push the next boundary and seek out the next level of details. By digging deeper, we commit to pushing past the superficial and providing our readers with the most accurate, thought-provoking and comprehensive news in the Steel City.
