Local Media

Raleigh Burleigh is something of a prodigy in community journalism and local media. The Carbondale native has been the editor of the Sopris Sun for more than 5 years after serving for 3 years on the board of the non-profit weekly. At a time when news deserts replace newspaper offices, and media empires gobble publications and spit out reporters, the Sopris Sun manages to crank out robust, original, award-winning local news written by paid freelancers. Before joining the Sopris Sun, Raleigh was KDNK’s News Director at the age of 23. Burleigh has announced will be leaving the Sopris Sun and Carbondale.
