The Denver Post and the ‘Bucket of Blood’
Location
This off-site will feature a conversation with Gregory L. Moore, who has been editor of the Denver Post since 2002, a period that coincided with the culmination of a newspaper war with the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News. We’ll also take a look back to the late 19th century and the early days of the Post, when its lurid content gave rise to the moniker the “bucket of blood.” The Post’s owners then were Gilmer Bonfils and Harry Tammen, and Time magazine once said they “stirred up a brand of journalistic dust in Denver’s rarefied air which made Hearst look stuffy.”
