Patricia Calhoun co-founded Westword, Denver’s News and Arts weekly, in 1977; she’s been the editor there ever since. She’s a regular on the weekly Colorado Public Television roundtable Colorado Inside Out, the former president of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies — a post that got her an unexpected interview with former President Bill Clinton in front of a thousand people (while she was in flip-flops) — and played a real journalist in John Sayles’s Silver City.
