DENVER -- At least a dozen former reporters for the Rocky Mountain News will announce a new journalism venture Monday. In the three weeks since the newspaper folded, the journalists have been writing news and entertainment for a Web site called iwantmyrocky.com. The site advertised becoming an independent news site on Sunday, though a spokeswoman representing the journalists wouldn't say Sunday how exactly the Web site would work.
Rocky Mountain News owner E.W. Scripps Co. shuttered what was Colorado's oldest newspaper late last month after failing to find a buyer for it.
