Golden Transcript
The ''Golden Transcript'' is the second oldest newspaper in Colorado, behind the ''Central City Register-Call''. The ''Transcript'' is also the oldest media outlet of the Denver metropolitan area. It is published by Mile High Newspapers in Golden, Colorado.
==Newspaper history==
This newspaper was established as the ''Colorado Transcript'' in Golden on December 19, 1866. It was begun by George West, one of the founding fathers of Golden, who came west as leader of the Boston Company during the Colorado Gold Rush in 1859. West began his journalistic career as an apprentice of the newspaper of Claremont, New Hampshire, continuing as a journalist at the ''Boston Transcript''. After coming west, he fortuitously helped William N. Byers publish the first extra edition of the ''Rocky Mountain News'' on June 11, 1859, and then with his partners in the Boston Company established Colorado's fourth newspaper, the ''Western Mountaineer'', in Golden on December 4, 1859. After that newspaper ceased operating in 1860, West fought with the Union Army in the American Civil War, and resumed his journalistic career as Local Editor of the ''News'' in 1865. With money West saved he established Colorado's eighth newspaper, and Golden's third newspaper, in 1866. He named it the ''Transcript'' after his old newspaper, the ''Boston Transcript'', which published from 1830–1941 on Milk Street across from the Old South Meeting House in Boston. The namesake has now outlived the 110-year career of the original.
Originally a weekly, the ''Transcript'' would continue publishing along this line for a century. Its founder remained at the helm for 40 years, a remarkable accomplishment in Colorado journalism, until his death in 1906. An ardent Democrat, West used his paper often to promote Democratic candidates and causes. He also was a tireless promoter of Golden and constantly reported on and encouraged its growth and progress. Upon his death it passed to his son, Harley Dean West, a veteran of the Spanish–American War, and it remained in the West family for some years. During the 1960s the newspaper became a twice-weekly, three days a week, and finally a daily newspaper, publishing on weekdays throughout the 1970s. It resumed being twice weekly in the 1980s, and resumed being a weekly in the 2000s. Through the years the ''Transcript'' outlasted skilled and serious competition, including the ''Golden Globe'' (1872–1919); ''Jefferson County Republican'' (1919–46); and ''Golden Outlook'' (1940s–90s).
The ''Golden Transcript'' carries the remarkable distinction of having never missed an edition throughout its publishing history. This has been accomplished despite such events as a major paper shortage that caused it to print on single sheets of wrapping paper in 1869 and a fire that struck it as a daily in 1978. As of December 24, 2009, the ''Transcript'' has published 10,832 total issues.
