The Telluride Watch was launched by Seth Cagin and Marta Tarbell as a faxed newsletter in mid-1996 to test whether there was a demand in the region for a news source that delivered straight reporting and adhered to the classical virtues of Journalism 101 - clarity, accuracy, fairness, balance and thoughtful news judgement. Enthusiastic reader response convinced Cagin and Tarbell - who had long careers in national journalism before moving to Telluride in 1990 - that the established local media were missing something important. The husband-and-wife team and a small committed staff published the first edition of The Telluride Watch, sponsored by a gratifying number of charter advertisers who agreed that Telluride needed a fresh voice, in January 1997.

Today, The Telluride Watch publishes on Tuesdays and Fridays (except during the months of April and May, when it is published on Friday only) and is Telluride’s only locally owned newspaper.
