Dana Coffield is Senior Editor and co-founder of The Colorado Sun. She is a Colorado native who became a journalist to try and satiate an endless appetite for knowledge. On the quest, she has worked as an editor and reporter at a variety of publications along the Front Range ranging in size from the Rocky Mountain News to the Louisville Times.
Most recently she was Senior Editor for News at The Denver Post, where she directed coverage of the Aurora theater shooting that led to the Post’s 2013 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news. Sadly, it was her second shared Pulitzer for a gun massacre. Coffield also did stints at The Associated Press and a couple of trade publications, where she developed a keen understanding of telecommunications infrastructure and organic food.
She lives in Lafayette with her husband, a bee hive, four chickens and a mildly intelligent cocker spaniel.

Golden History Moment
From 1941-1945, World War II was a part of every aspect of life…school, work, play, eating. The newspaper articles of the time reported on which local boys had been wounded overseas and which had died. The community worked on clothing drives, food drives, and war bond drives. Many things were rationed, including food, gasoline, and rubber. The grocery stores detailed the points needed as well as the cost of foodstuffs.
Uncle Sam was everywhere…promoting war bonds on one page and encouraging everyone to buy chicks from the Golden Mill in the next.
The Colorado Central Electric company cheerfully speculated as to whether Hitler would be electrocuted at the end of the war, then went on to say that if he was, the electricity used would be CHEAP, because electrical power is CHEAP.
At a time when American industry was dedicated to the war effort, consumer goods were in short supply. Without exciting new merchandise to promote, many advertisers found reasons to write about Victory Gardens. The hardware stores, of course, sold seeds. Greenhouses sold bedding plants. Public Service (the gas company) made a longer stretch, explaining that having gas service in the house would save time, allowing readers to spend more time on their Victory Gardens.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
