Examiner.com was an American news website based in Denver, Colorado, that operated using a network of 'pro-am' contributors for content. It had various local editions with contributors posting city-based items tailored to 238 markets throughout the United States and parts of Canada in two putative national editions, one for each country.
As of early 2014, Examiner.com was a property of the Philip Anschutz-owned AEG, and announced it would be partnering closely with ticket merchant AXS. Subsequently, Examiner operations were announced to be shutting down on July 10, 2016.
