Well, it sounds like that’s it for the Rocky Mountain News<\/em>. Despite described plans to try and sell the Rocky <\/em>to someone else, the owners are (quietly) pulling the plug<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

A draft letter leaked to the Rocky Mountain Newspaper indicates that the Denver Newspaper Agency is already making plans for life after The Rocky.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The letter, written by the Denver Newspaper Agency and addressed to advertisers says in part, “Effective March 1, 2009 only one major daily newspaper will serve the metro Denver market — the Denver Post.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Denver Newspaper Agency runs both the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, but the letter is printed on letterhead that describes the Agency strictly as the “publisher of the Denver Post.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The DNA claims this is just contingency planning, honest. And the March 1 date is just a “place holder,” really.<\/p>\n

The Rocky<\/em> has had its flaws, but it was the paper we subscribed to when we came to Denver, largely for its tabloid format (so much easier to read), and even now, when I don’t subscribe to any paper, I tend to go to its website first before the Post<\/em>. It will be sad when, having published since 1859, it goes away.<\/p>\n
