The Print Newspaper Graveyard (sigh) -- THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 1859 - 2009

Sigh. The newspaper graveyard. i wrote a song about all this, nostalgia, on YTube now and here is a comment of this song by a former newsman and it is APT

"I love this song, Danny. A. J. Liebling would love it -- it sports with
all the personality that the local press largely used to have, even
with the corruptions, too, of local owners.

I love it more because it zings to the facts of personality that
buoyed all America's press -- even in the face of the corporate ooze.

And I love it most for the singing -- hommage to Arlo Guthrie, hommage
to all the folkies who kept America a decent place, back in those
days when it was still a republic. "
