Rocky Mountain Low

Denver becomes a one paper town:
DENVER (AP) -- The Rocky Mountain News will publish its last edition Friday.

Owner E.W. Scripps Co. announced on the newspaper's Web site Thursday that its search for a buyer for the paper was unsuccessful.

"Today the Rocky Mountain News, long the leading voice in Denver, becomes a victim of changing times in our industry and huge economic challenges," Scripps CEO Rich Boehne said.

Scripps said the paper lost $16 million last
year.

The Rocky Mountain News would have celebrated their 150th birthday in a couple of months. This story will be repeated in towns large and small around the country.
