DENVER — There are several ways you can connect with the news team to send news tips or photos and videos that may be used on the networks of 9NEWS, including Mile High Mornings or Next with Kyle Clark.

Two of the easiest ways to share your perspective with 9NEWS are through text messages and the 'Near Me' feature on the 9NEWS app.

NEAR ME

1. Open the 9NEWS app on your smartphone

3. A map will pop up, zoom in or out to find photos, videos, and stories from around Colorado
