Rocky Mountain News 1859-2009

The front page of RockyMountainNews.com includes a 22 minute video chronicling the final two months of the Scripps-owned publication. It is a compelling story told by the residents of Denver, the city’s mayor and for the most part, the employees of the paper, including husband and wife reporting team of Jeff Legwold and Laura Frank. The final three minutes of the video includes a scrolling list of the paper’s employees, and one final thought from Laura Frank.

The paper’s final edition came out today.
