"Goodbye, Colorado" - Rocky Mountain News

After nearly 150 years in business, the Rocky Mountain News published its final edition Friday, the victim of a bad economy and the Internet generation.

The final front-page headline simply says: "Goodbye, Colorado."

"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."

It's unfortunate, but somewhat inevitable that this happened. I've been reading them (online) for a number of years and always liked their stuff. They offered integrity driven accounts by their credible journalists. I wish all of them who worked there the best, and hope that the Denver Post can pick up the slack.
