  • It may not have made a difference, but the Rocky Mountain News had an editorial staff of over 250. The Denver Post, a similar number. Does Denver REALLY need 500+ print journalists? And, this number does NOT include those journalists at alternative city papers or broadcast stations.

    C'mon, folks, it's Denver. I think the answer has become, unfortunately, painfully apparent.

  • Newspapers are for the last generation. The internet is for this and coming generations. Even clay tablets disappeared.

  • I was born and raised in Denver, and I gotta say this is not killing me. I can remember growing up in the 80's and 90's, and the RMN was a rag compared to the Denver Post. Kinda biased, to me.

    I work in the media, and the newspaper writers I know are old dinosaurs... get with the times and realize that while a minority might love the feel of a newspaper in the morning, most could care less when it comes down to it.

  • No news is media and media is lies. So there you have it.

  • How did we kill it?. It's not our business and we don't run the media.

  • Democrat Rep. Jared Polis:

    "I have to say, that when we say, 'Who killed the Rocky Mountain News?' we are all part of that, we truly are. For better or worse, and I argue that it's mostly for better. Media is dead, and long live new media"

  • This is GREAT NEWS! I hate all the propaganda that these rotten newspapers cover. Most of it is biased lies that support unsustainable civilization. The hell with these guys! Good riddance!!!

  • I sadly work for the Los Angeles times. Sad in the sense that it pulled the final plug on it self by supporting Obama...what a shame. I thought News was suppose to be an objective data pool.

  • SUPPORT YOUR NEWSPAPERS AMERICA!

    There are things you can't get unless you buy the newspaper anyways... advertisements for movies, coupons, and a physical copy to hold in your hands.

  • NEWS IS NOT CONTENT!!!

    CONTENT IS NOT NEWS!!!

    Any Questions?

    RIP Rocky. Plaugue on Scripps and DNA!
