After a 150 year history, Denver’s Rocky Mountain News will publish its final edition tomorrow. Rich Boehne, the CEO of Scripps, the Rocky’s parent company, told staff the grim news today at noon. This means Denver will now only have one newspaper – the Denver Post, owned by Media News.
Scripps put the Rocky for sale in December, after reporting a loss of $16 million in 2008, but no one came to the rescue.
