 &lt;p&gt;Out of widespread consolidation and layoffs in Colorado journalism, a new publication emerged last summer, The Colorado Sun. After just a few months, it has already produced vital reporting from across the state. The Sun is also journalist-owned and affiliated with the cryptocurrency startup Civil.&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;Join Colorado Sun editors and reporters, together with CU Boulder students who have been collaborating with them, for a celebration of what they have accomplished. Learn about their work and their business model, and find out how you can get involved in a renaissance for news-gathering in our state.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;Really, no organization is what the incorporation statutes and bylaws say it is. Organizations are made of people, culture, relationships, and other things that don’t fit into the letter of our laws, and which shouldn’t. This is especially the case for democratic enterprises trying to operate in a legal regime designed primarily for control by large investors and wealthy donors. Those seeking to develop new strategies for more accountable organizations have to be clever. They have to build the organizational structure as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_layer&quot;&gt;layer of abstraction&lt;/a&gt; quite distinct from the legal layer.&lt;/p&gt;
