Rocky Mountain News Ceases Publication as Other Newspapers Face Threat of Similar Fate

A week ago today, the last issue of the Rocky Mountain News hit newsstands across Denver. The papers owner, E.W. Scripps Company, closed the Pulitzer Prize-winning paper to the shock of the papers staff and readers. Other papers could soon face the same demise. We speak to Newspaper Guild president Bernie Lunzer and Laura Frank, until last week an investigative reporter at the Rocky Mountain News. [includes rush transcript]

  • Newspapers, like t.v. news, dropped the ball on honest reporting, free of propoganda. That's why no one buys newsprint anymore. If there was one honest newspaper, I would certainly subscribe...Newspapers are a document of history that can't be altered-unlike cyber news...

  • What local news they have not put local news in print here in years! They only print what they are told to print and then it is not what any one wants to read!

  • the content of my local papers is a joke and has been for a dozen years. why the hell should i pay 50 cents for a crappy paper that simply pulls stories off the AP wire and prints this pablum. the same problem exists in print news that exists anywhere else in mainstream news. theyre all owned by the same 5 rich families who have no desire to allow stories to be printed that stand at odds with the propaganda they so carefully craft. i will miss the detroit papers not at all.

  • Hahahahahha shit papers=No sales

    News for Profit=Corruption and Government funding, WHICH=Government talking point news.

  • Are these people slow... People have the internet... why would they need newspapers when they can read it on there computer? Why waste paper?

  • let the paper go theres still news on the web
