Thank you Blue Engine Collaborative for highlighting our CTO Eric Lubbers: Engage publicly on social media or community forums: Responding to reader comments or joining discussions shows that you’re listening and appreciate their input. Earlier this year, The Colorado Sun co-founder Eric Lubbers joined a Reddit discussion about its membership program. He shared insights into the organization’s mission and highlighted The Colorado Sun’s commitment to transparency and user-friendly practices: “We have to earn your monetary support, not trick you into it by hiding news from people who need it… And if anyone has a problem, we handle all customer service in-house with our actual employees who are empowered to help everyone who reaches out (instead of following some corporate policy to stretch everything out).” This transparent, sincere response resonated with readers and sparked a wave of positive feedback (no small feat on Reddit!) The interaction served as a reminder that a direct “thank you” and open dialogue can build trust and reinforce the organization’s dedication to community-driven journalism.
