After reading the last of The Rocky Mountain News and Hearst's plans of closing San Francisco Chronicle, the reality of today's swift and painful transition towards the extinction of U.S. newspapers has finally hit me. Hard. The Rocky Mountain News has published its last edition today. It is one of the top two newspapers in Colorado and among the largest newspaper institutions in the nation, yet its 150 years of publishing could not have saved it from closing. This is their final video -- a heartbreaking tribute to the newspaper, its journalists and the community whom they had served.
