Westword is a United States–based newspaper publisher anchored in Denver, Colorado, delivering local journalism and related content. Beyond reporting, Westword has introduced reader-focused features and events, including a feature called 'It's a Date' to help readers plan dates in and around Denver, and the annual Best of Denver awards. These initiatives reflect the publication's role as both a content creator and a community-focused platform. In 2019, Westword introduced a membership program that allows readers to make one-time donations or ongoing contributions to support its work. The company has pursued diversification with initiatives such as the Westword Music Showcase and other curated lists, while the organization appears to operate with a very small staff.
