Sad news in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain News just announced to their staff today that tomorrow's paper will be their last.
The paper's story read...
In the past decade, the Rocky has won four Pulitzer Prizes, more than all but a handful of American papers. Its sports section was named one of the 10 best in the nation this week. Its business section was cited by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers as one of the best in the country last year. And its photo staff is regularly listed among the best in the nation when the top 10 photo newspapers are judged.

It's just such an incredible shame. What was also sad was that a few of the comments left by readers were quite nasty, like "Oh, and Scanlon... when writing your resume, remember that a paragraph contains more than one sentence."
Fortunately, there were more nice ones than rude ones. I guess that's the power of free speech. The newspaper situation is just so dissapointing right now.
I'm speechless.

So hard to believe. I got a Poynter email update about the Rocky Mountain News earlier today and it made my stomach ache. Ugh.
