About the Project

Media. Academia. Talent. Collaborating to Help.

MATCH Lab pairs newsrooms facing urgent challenges (Media) with faculty-led student teams (Academia) and SCORE-certified business mentors (Talent). Together, they design and deliver practical, hands-on, tailored solutions.

Unlike one-size-fits-all training, MATCH Lab bridges gaps in capacity, supports local newsrooms where they need it most, and amplifies existing efforts already underway in Colorado’s journalism ecosystem.

This project was made possible through collaboration between newsrooms and journalists across the state, who are active partners in the Colorado News Collaborative, or COLab.
