It’s strange covering your own funeral
Posted by: Mike in Noe Can Do on February 27th, 2009
Such a sad day covering the death of an organization I have loved being a part of for nearly 10 years. As Interactive Editor, I was the one to post the initial news story, then Twitter the announcement of our closure.
If you haven’t seen it, check out the video on the Rocky’s home page. I can still barely watch it.
As I write this, it’s 4 a.m. Why I’m still here? Because of what this organization stands for and what it’s given to me. Many thanks to Kevin Graves and Caleb Kropf who have stayed with me to the end. Good bye old friend.

More bad news for newspapers
It’s just not a good day for people in the news business. This morning I heard rumors of salary cuts for my colleagues at other E.W. Scripps properties. Later today, I took a phone call from my counterpart at The Denver Post. “I just got laid off,” he said. I couldn’t believe what I heard. The Rocky is the paper on the auction block. From my standpoint, Mark Cardwell had a secure job. I’m beginning to wonder if anyone will be working in journalism in a couple of years.
