Rocky Mountain News: Goodbye, Colorado
POSTED: 4:36 am MST February 27, 2009
DENVER -- On Friday, the last day of existence for the 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News, the newspaper's Web site put up this final video for its readers:
The front-page headline said simply, "Goodbye, Colorado." The inside headline read, "Stop The Presses.""It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to you today. Our time chronicling the life of Denver and Colorado, the nation and the world, is over. Thousands of men and women have worked at this newspaper since William Byers produced its first edition on the banks of Cherry Creek on April 23, 1859. We speak, we believe, for all of them, when we say that it has been an honor to serve you," the newspaper said, in a published farewell.
