Well, you may have heard by now that the Rocky Mountain News, a major daily newspaper in Colorado, printed its last paper today. Bark Bark Woof Woof shares his thoughts and Brickell Life reflects on the newspaper industry as a whole, although he gets the Denver Post and the RMN a little confused. From BL...Many newspapers are at the crossroads of their existence right now and staring over the cliff's edge at their demise. It's sad in a sense, but a sign of the times. There is something nostalgic about holding the newspaper in your hands and reading it, but I must be honest and say that I have not had newspaper delivered to me in 7 years. I get my news online like most people now, because unfortunately by the time you read it in the morning edition, its been reported upon at length. That's the inherent problem with print media.On a related note, word is that the Miami SunPost has declared bankruptcy. Nothing at all that I can find confirming this but that's what I hear.
Seems like a good time for this...

Brickell Life follows up his post with a powerful video of the lives that are going to be impacted without the Rocky Mountain News.

Looks like that rumor with the SunPost might be true.

Realized that i put Denver Post in the headline. That's the inherent problem with blogging at work. Running way too fast. Sorry for the confusion everyone. I corrected. Also just posted a great video about the final edition of the Rocky on my blog. Imagine all those poor people in the newsroom, on the support staff, on the print floor, in the IT department, the bureaus across the country - their story does not get to be told on Saturday....
