Work With Us
For more than a century, the Golden Star has been telling the stories of Golden. Today, those stories live both in print and online—and increasingly, on social media.
The Golden Star and Golden This Week are run by the same local team. That means your business benefits from a coordinated approach across newspaper, website, and social media, all designed to reach the Golden community and beyond — whether that’s flipping through the paper, browsing online, or scrolling their feed.
Because we live here, work here, and are deeply connected to the community, we know how to promote your business in a way that feels authentic, local, and effective.
