Welcome to "Tabloidia." We say: "Give the people what they want!" Our lean and mean staff makes a valiant effort covering Colorado. The Daily Sketch, named for a historic London tabloid, is edited by veteran journalist Vinny Del Giudice (Bloomberg and UPI alumnus). We avoid sleaze (unable to afford libel lawyer) and partisan politics. Our spotlight is on the police, fires and human interest. Daily Sketch is compiled by real people. No AI. Locally owned. Quoting the motto of a storied tabloid in New Jersey: "Love us. Hate us. Read us." We emulate the Boston Herald, New York Daily News and Toronto Sun.
