Tomorrow is the last day for Denver's Rocky Mountain News. It was founded in 1859, which was two years before the Colorado Territory was organized, it is the state's oldest going concern. Until tomorrow of course.Some News writers will migrate to the Denver Post, but at least 200 staffers will be out of work.
Among its recent honors, the News can boast about four Pulitzer Prizes in the last ten years.
My favorite accomplishment of the News was its series exposing the fraud known as Ward Churchill, the academic hoakster and phony Indian who is still making news in the Centennial State. Churchill plans to speak next week at his former workplace at the University of Colorado, along with former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.
