You can't miss: Sad times for the newspaper business

As most of you already know, the Rocky Mountain News folded a couple weeks ago. It hit a little close to home, as I was at the Denver Post this summer. (Both papers are in a JOA). Looks like the Seattle Post-Intelligencer will be closing shop here in a couple weeks as well.

Even as they were shutting down operations, the reporters at the Rocky Mountain News wanted to tell their final story. If you go to their homepage, Rocky Mountain News, you'll see a video at the top. Watch it. It will enlighten you to what all the newspaper employees are going through right now.

They've done some amazing things in their 149.8 years (so close to 150!). Here's one of my favorites, a pulitzer winner from 2006. Photo essay by Todd Heisler.
