Goodbye to the Rocky Mountain News

Posted by frontrangeriffraff on February 28, 2009

Rocky Mountain News winter sports edition cover from January 31, 1937.

Colorado lost a good friend this week, as the 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News ceased publication on Friday, February 27, 2009.

I will miss many things about the Rocky, from the outstanding photography to the great investigative reporting to the tenacity and hustle to report the news. And I will miss their ski and snowboard coverage.

It’s a sad day for journalism.

RIP RMN.
