A) What was the article about? (in this case, articles, and include the video if you would like). This Article is about how the Rocky Mountain News paper just recently shut down after 150 years. The town was not able to support the local newspaper from being published. Throughout the years the Post and Rocky Mtn Newspapers were kind of competing against each other expiramenting with prices and what not and unfortunately the post won. This is a very sad time for the many who lost their jobs and the readers of the Rocky Mtn Newspaper who are now going to have to read the Post.

B) How does all of this apply to the profession of journalism, our class, and more importantly, to the future of journalism in this country on the whole?
This article relates to journalism because journalism is not a free ride. We have to be funded and supported by others to be able to keep going. If no one at the school read our Tiger Rag there would be no need to publish it anymore. The Rocky Mountain Newspaper was not making enough profit so they were forced to close. This is a sad and unfair thing, but in reality, with our economy as it is, changes have to be made at some point and sadly this newspaper was not able to survive.


C) What questions are you left with? Share at least two.
If the paper was so successful why was it shot down? Is there going to be packages that the old workers recieve? Or are they just on their own for finding a new job?
