The Durango Herald is working all hours throughout the Four Corners to bring you the stories and images that inform you about the coronavirus pandemic.

We’re on the ground in Southwest Colorado, Denver, New Mexico and Washington, D.C., to bring you essential information from our neighborhoods, schools and decision-makers.

We’re working remotely and from our office on Main Avenue at increased cost and in a challenging environment to deliver the news at durangoherald.com as it happens. And we’re restocking newspaper racks throughout Southwest Colorado and northwest New Mexico to meet the demand for information.

We remain socially connected. And we know that you are, too.

We worry about our families, friends and about the future of our town and country. Then we go back to work.

These are extraordinary times.

Because of demand, the Herald will share critical coverage about the coronavirus pandemic for free at durangoherald.com.

We encourage visitors to stick around for a while. For 27 cents a day, you can go to durangoherald.com and read all about Southwest Colorado from its most authoritative news source. Sign up online or call our circulation staff for help.

We thank our advertisers and subscribers, whose contributions make local news coverage possible. You’ve supported us through wildfires, recessions and wars. Thank you.

This crisis will end. Students will return to school, churches will open their doors, friends will return to work, and you’ll enjoy a nice meal out. We’ll be there for that, too.

Stay safe.
