"Rocky" Goes Out Swinging...

Final Edition from Matthew Roberts on Vimeo.

The Rocky Mountain News said good-bye Friday...
55 days short of their 150th birthday.

This is their own story around the "Final Edition." It's melancholy. It's real life personified through writers writing about themselves and their own obit.
From Columbine to the Broncos, to the "Crossing" to a coronation, it was always "My Rocky" and THE "Denver Post."
Scripps gave the world a month to come up with a new buyer.
Gee, thanks...
Prevailing opinion was EW Scripps quit on the paper when its staff never did.
To the staff, thanks for everything...
To Scripps, thanks for everything...
