We are pleased to announce the launch of the Colorado Community College Newswire at [http://newswire.coloradocommunitycolleges.com]

The Colorado Community College Newswire (the Newswire) is a one-stop Word Press-driven resource for journalists and those interested in news and information coming out of Colorado's community colleges.

We intend for the newswire to be a convenient one-stop way for journalists to get information on how Colorado's community colleges are not only serving their students but our state's citizenry, businesses, industry, education infrastructure, governments and non-profits.

We also intend for the newswire to broaden exposure to the news and information flowing out of Colorado's community colleges because articles posted on it will have greater search engine visibility and presence in news article crawls.

Furthermore, the newswire gives those who are not affiliated with a particular institution, a chance to review the activities of multiple colleges in one place without having to surf numerous different websites.

Finally, this newswire will act as a searchable historical database of articles from Colorado's community colleges hence extending its utility as a resource for journalists and other stakeholders interested in our institutions from this perspective.

The newswire will be a great resource for covering the Colorado Community College System. CCCS comprises the state's largest system of higher education serving more than 151,000 students annually. CCCS oversees career and academic programs in the 13 state community colleges and career and technical programs in more than 160 school districts and seven other post-secondary institutions The system's colleges include: Arapahoe Community College, Colorado Northwestern Community College, Community College of Aurora, Community College of Denver, Front Range Community College, Lamar Community College, Morgan Community College, Northeastern Junior College, Otero Junior College, Pueblo Community College (including their Southwest Colorado Community College division), Pikes Peak Community College, Red Rocks Community College and Trinidad State Junior College.
