Want to join The Bold?
Students in the JRNL 3000 Intermediate Reporting class write and report stories for The Bold. We also accept pieces from students outside of the class, but note, there is no guarantee that your story will be published. Still, send it along and if it meets our journalism standards and principles, you might get published. Contributors must be full-time students enrolled at CU Boulder.
