Today’s front page of the Rocky Mountain News carries an April 23, 1859 date and a look that mirrors it’s beginnings nearly 150 years ago .
While today’s front page goes back to it’s roots the Rocky Mountain News also has a history of great photojournalism as well. A Poynter link to some memorable front pages of the Rocky with links to it’s Pulitzer Prizes.
A very sad day in journalism.
thank you for posting that, it was a sad and beautiful piece. I think it simply explained what a newspaper means to a community and something that sticks out to me, and what I have said many times to people is, “you won’t miss it, until it’s gone”. sad, sad day.
