The paper was created in November 2000, by the merger of the historic Glenwood Post and Glenwood Independent, [1] and is owned by Swift Communications of Carson City, Nevada. [2] The publication is a member of the Colorado Press Association. [3]

History

In 1997, the owners of the The Aspen Times founded the Glenwood Springs Independent. Both papers were sold in 1999 to Swift Communications. [4] A year later the company purchased the Glenwood Springs Post from Morris Communications and merged it with the Independent to form the Glenwood Springs Post Independent. [5]

In 2017, Post Independent staffers found photo negatives featuring the notorious American serial killer Ted Bundy that were kept in an old safe at their Glenwood Springs office since the 1970s. [6] [7] The negatives show Bundy at the Garfield county jail, and scenes from the search for him after he escaped from both the Pitkin and Garfield county jails.
