TGP Annual 2009:TGP Annual 2009 Gatheringthe Place Annual Report 2007-2008 We believe that women and children experiencing homelessness and poverty deserve a safe and caring place to re-establish their lives. We believe that every woman, no matter what her circumstances, is worthy of respect and is a valuable human being just as she is. The Gathering Place exists to offer women a safe haven, resources for self-sufficiency and opportunities to acquire new skills. Women who are able to meet their immediate and urgent needs can then collect their inner resources and make positive life changes for themselves and their children. At The Gathering Place, women meet other women who may have traveled down the same road. In each other’s company they share their experiences, give each other advice and offer friendship. Mission The Gathering Place supports women and their children experiencing homelessness or poverty by providing a safe daytime refuge and resources for self-sufficiency.

    Annual Report 2008/2009 When The Gathering Place (TGP) was founded in 1986, women made up 10% of the homeless population in Denver. Now, women and children are estimated to be 50% of all homeless persons in the city and are the fastest-growing demographic within the homeless population. “The Gathering Place is a Healing Place for me.” Photo courtesy of Samantha Horoschak, TGP -Melinda, TGP Basic Services Client “When you are homeless there aren't many places where you can go… You don’t go to places-Berda, where TGP you Client are not wanted, but here you feel welcomed and the staff wants to help you.” Photo courtesy of Samantha Horoschak, TGP “When I had the baby I was so afraid but The Gathering Place helped me with diapers, wipes, and baby food. Things that I was struggling to get on my own, so that kept me from feeling like I couldn’t do it... I don’t really trust my daughter with a lot of people, she’s my only one and I don’t have any family here, but I trust them. -Leonora, TGP Family Area Client From the President/CEO “For The Gathering Place, diversity is life. Each day the types of people who come to receive our services vacillate on the most basic level between those who are unaccompanied and those who come with children and families. Within and across each group the differences are remarkable – an array of people from all walks of life, with different educational levels, from different countries, with varying family backgrounds, educations, and life experiences.

Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Michael S. Sweeney Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WARD, KENNETH J., Ph.D., May 2018, Journalism America’s Last Newspaper War: One Hundred and Sixteen Years of Competition between the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News Director of Dissertation: Michael S. Sweeney The Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post fought for dominance of the Denver, Colorado, newspaper market for more than a century, enduring vigorous competition in pursuit of monopoly control over a lucrative market. This frequently sensational, sometimes outlandish, and occasionally bloody battle spanned numerous eras of journalism, embodying the rise and fall of the newspaper industry during the twentieth century in the lead up to the decline of American newspapering and the death of the News, which ended the country’s last great newspaper war. This historical analysis charts the course of this competition throughout the lifetime of the News, which was founded in 1859. It begins by examining the Denver market’s early history, in which the News battled the city’s earlier newspapers for control in the decades before the Post’s founding.
