Goodbye, Rocky.
After nearly 150 years, one of Denver’s major papers has closed. I think this counts as the first large metro to go under as of late. I could pontificate and get on my soap box, but I won’t, except to say: I hope the public wakes up soon. Sure, newspapers are a dying breed, but the content that the dead-tree edition afforded us (literally, in ad dollars) to produce will inevitably die, too. J-linx has good commentary on this subject, and it’s worth a read. The Rocky’s Web site (what’s left of it) has a good archive, including the final edition in PDF form.
