On Friday, the
Rocky Mountain News published its last edition. While I've never lived in Colorado, the
Rocky Mountain News first caught my attention when I saw a photo essay in
Time entitled "
Honor After the Fall," which was based on the work of two of the
Rocky Mountain News's reporters. In its almost 155 years of publication, the
Rocky Mountain News has won numerous awards, including several Pulitzer Prizes. It has covered stories ranging from last year's Democratic National Convention to the Columbine shootings to
Jim Sheeler's "Final Salute," which remains one of the most powerful pieces of journalism that I have ever read.
RIP
Rocky Mountain News - the journalistic world is a little darker without you in it.
