Westword publishes daily online coverage of local news, restaurants, music and arts, as well as longform narrative journalism. A weekly print issue circulates every Thursday. Westword has been owned by Voice Media Group since January 2013, when a group of senior executives bought out the previous owners. Patricia Calhoun has been editor of Westword since she and two of her friends founded the publication in 1977. Calhoun and her former partners sold the newspapers to New Times Media in 1983.[2] In 2005, New Times Media acquired Village Voice Media, and took on the Village Voice Media name as part of a deal that created a group of 14 publications nationwide.[3] In January 2013, former Village Voice Media executives Scott Tobias, Christine Brennan and Jeff Mars bought VVM's papers and associated web properties and formed Voice Media Group.[4] Westword has received several awards for investigative reporting and feature writing, including the 2017 Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for Chris Walker's story "Acid Trip."[5] . The publication's website, westword.com, offers daily news coverage along with comprehensive listings of music, arts and other events, along with restaurants and bar listings. Best of DenverEvery year, Westword's staff awards hundreds of Denver-area personalities, restaurants, bars and shops with its "Best of Denver" awards. The awards are archived on the newspaper's web site, at http://www.westword.com/bestof. The newspaper also throws a yearly concert, the "Westword Music Showcase", which brings dozens of local bands along with national headlining acts to venues in the Golden Triangle. Westword also produces an annual list of Masterminds, people whose contribution to arts and culture in the Denver area deserve special recognition.[6] Other live events include Artopia, an annual celebration of the arts, Tacolandia, which features dozens of local taquerias and live music, and Feast, which focuses on the city’s entire food scene. PersonalitiesPatricia Calhoun is the editor-in-chief of Westword. Her column, "Calhoun," appears regularly and usually offers biting perspectives or criticisms pertaining to current events. Mark Antonation is Westword's food editor. Kyle Harris is the newspaper's art and music editor. Michael Paglia writes on art and architecture and is the author of a number of books including "Denver The Modern City", "The Mid-Century Modern House in Denver", "Landscapes of Colorado" and "Colorado Abstract". Juliet Wittman writes theater reviews. Alan Prendergast often writes about crime, prisons and "death by misadventure." His coverage of the Columbine High School massacre attracted national attention and led to first publication of pages from the journal of Eric Harris.[7] He is the author of a true-crime book, "The Poison Tree," about the Richard Jahnke parricide case.[8] Michael Roberts is Westword's daily news reporter and contributes regular coverage of news, politics and media. The publication’s other staff writers include Chris Walker and Chase Woodruff. MarijuanaIn November 2009 Westword became the first magazine or newspaper worldwide to employ a medical marijuana critic.[9] An anonymous contributor known by the pen name William Breathes contributed regular reviews of local marijuana dispensaries and began a column called "Ask a Stoner." Since that time, Westword has continued to be sympathetic to Colorado's growing recreational and medical marijuana movements, featuring ads for dispensaries in print editions and devoting an entire section of its website to covering the marijuana industry.[10] Westword's current marijuana editor is Thomas Mitchell. Westword MasterMind AwardsThe Westword MasterMind Awards were started in 2005 to recognize and encourage the "aesthetic adventurers who are changing the cultural landscape" of Denver.[11] The award comes with a no-strings attached cash grant.[11] References1. ^Alliance for Audited Media 2. ^{{cite journal |last1= Vane |first1=Sharyn |date=November 1998 |title=Consider the Alternative |journal= American Journalism Review |pages= |publisher= |doi= |url=http://www.ajr.org/article.asp?id=912 |accessdate=October 18, 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news |title= The Village Voice, Pushing 50, Prepares to Be Sold to a Chain of Weeklies |author= Richard Siklos |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/24/business/24voice.html |newspaper= The New York Times |date= October 24, 2005|accessdate=October 18, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Village Voice Media Execs Acquire The Company’s Famed Alt Weeklies, Form New Holding Company|url=https://techcrunch.com/2012/09/23/voice-media-group-acquisition/|publisher=Tech Crunch|accessdate=27 September 2012}} 5. ^[https://www.westword.com/news/denvers-underground-lsd-labs-fueled-the-psychedelic-revolution-9644844 "Acid Trip: Denver's Secret LSD Labs Fueled the Psychedelic Revolution"] Westword.com 6. ^Celebrate Artopia and Westword's newest MasterMinds Westword.com 7. ^"I'm Full of Hate and I Love It" Westword.com 8. ^Taking Care of Business Westword.com 9. ^http://www.westword.com/2012-11-01/news/william-breathes-pot-critic/full/ 10. ^http://www.westword.com/mmj/ 11. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.westword.com/news/mastermind-alumni-brainstorm-about-the-state-of-the-arts-in-denver-5107142|title=MasterMind alumni brainstorm about the state of the arts in Denver|last=Patricia|first=Calhoun|date=February 18, 2010|work=Westword|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} External links
