Posted by David Kopel: Rocky Mountain News will close: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_02_22-2009_02_28.shtml#1235684128
Tomorrow's edition of the Rocky Mountain News will be the last. Founded in 1859, the Rocky is the oldest business in the Denver, and its demise comes a few weeks short of its 150th birthday. The paper has been part of my family since before I was born. My father was an editor for the paper in the 1950s; I've been a biweekly media columnist there since 2001. The Rocky's coverage of today's announcement is [1]here. Note the little icon on your browser's tab. In an iVoices.org podcast taped this afternoon, Jon Caldara and I [2]discuss what a terrible loss this will be for Colorado. A few weeks ago on Jon's TV show Independent Thinking (channel 12 KBDI, 8:30 p.m. on Fridays), Jon interviewed with Rocky publisher John Temple. Temple accurately predicted that the Rocky would not survive until the end of the month. You can watch the interview [3]here.
