An obit for the Rocky Mountain News . . . and maybe for newspapers
One of the better columnists -- Mike Littwin -- writes an obituary for his newspaper, the Rocky Mountain News. It's not maudalin or sappy or even all that sad. It also sums up the feelings of lots of "newspapermen," as he calls them. I hope he's not writing the obituary for all newspapers; his reference to "suits" just seeming to watch newspapers die as they cut and hack up the product without seemingly any plan other than to just cut content (again, why should I buy the paper?) looks way too familiar.
