The Rocky Mountain News, or at least its voice, has found new life online. Reporters, including Kevin Flynn and Mary Voelz Chandler, and editors who were laid off when the 150-year-old newspaper stopped printing in late February are now posting stories daily on www.iwantmyrocky.com, Amana Miyamae of News 2 reported Tuesday night. For now, the unemployed staffers are working on the Web site without pay. They say they have no expectations, but are hopeful it can eventually draw enough revenue to support a newsroom staff.

The Rocky’s former finance editor and columnist David Milstead had the uneviable task of covering the demise of his own newspaper. He spoke this week with Westword’s Michael Roberts about the Rocky’s long-running rivalry with the Denver Post and how Denver became a one-newspaper town. He also takes a look at what lies ahead for the Post and its owner, MediaNews. To read the entire interview, click here.

E.W. Scripps, owner of the Rocky Mountain News, released its fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Scripps CEO Rich Boehne said: “Some of the very best journalism in the nation wasn’t enough to sustain a newspaper trapped in an unsustainable business model. We simply cannot sustain unending losses.” The company said it expects to announce a decision regarding the Rocky before the end of the first quarter on March 31.

Various news outlets were there Thursday night to cover the rally. Here’s a collection of stories and videos on the event.

Business reporter David Milstead reported in Wednesday’s Rocky Mountain News that a letter sent by Scripps executives to Denver Post executives last month indicates the Post is in violation of its joint operating agreement with the Rocky. From the story:

The Denver Post violated its agreement with Rocky owner E.W. Scripps when it borrowed $13 million from their jointly owned operating agency to cover The Post’s newsroom payroll, Scripps wrote in a letter to Post executives last month.

“We request that this practice cease and that the Post find a way to fund its editorial payroll without resorting to this . . .,” Scripps executives Rich Boehne and Mark Contreras wrote.

As we see every day at RockyMountainNews.com, Broncos fans love their news. Devour it.

So can’t Broncos fans just find the news somewhere else on the Internet in the Rocky Mountain News goes away? In a column Thursday, Dave Krieger reminds everyone to think again.

Melissa Pomponio, the Denver Newspaper Guild unit chair for the Rocky newsroom and a presentation editor at the Rocky, talked to Westword about the decision by unions representing workers at the Denver Newspaper Agency and the Denver Post to open contract talks early, a decision that could lead to the unions agreeing to concessions MediaNews CEO Dean Singleton requested from the groups in mid-December.
