AURORA | Award-winning Colorado journalist Cassandra Ballard joins the news staff of the Aurora Sentinel this week.
Ballard, who grew up in the metro area, comes to the Sentinel from the Glenwood Springs Post Independent, where she covered a variety of beats and issues.
“Cassandra’s dedication to ferreting out facts and details makes her a perfect addition to the Sentinel news team,” said Sentinel Editor Dave Perry. “She not only shares our demand for accuracy, she brings a keen appreciation for sharing news that people want as well as need.”
A recent takeout in the Post Independent followed the travails of a goat on the lam in Glenwood, a trying time for police and city residents.
Ballard attended metro-area schools, and she graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a degree in journalism.
She has been honored by peers for her work as an investigative journalist, government reporter, data-driven stories and features.

I wonder if Dave told her the truth and all the truth. That is that it will help her if she not only leans left politically but goes into the total socialist left leaning quandary.
That in a reasonable amount of time the Sentinel Blog might not have the funds to pay her salary on time. Let’s hope she brings some thoughts that are more appropriate for right leaning readers. Let’s hope.
