"Rocky Mountain News:" The TV Angle
I've been wondering how to find a way to pay tribute to a fine newspaper that went under on Friday. I pay tribute to fine TV shows that go under. Why not a newspaper? And I think I've found the way...
If you've got 20 minutes or so, and care about newspapers, and wonder what they're about, and why they matter, and the people who put them together...If you care about the news, and if you care about history, and about institutions that really, truly believe they have a role in their communities beyond a purely financial one...If you wonder about just one little corner of a deepening recession and the impact it's had on human beings thousands of miles away from Long Island, living in a community - Denver - that just got poorer on Friday...then please go to jump.
The Rocky Mountain News put together a video tribute to itself on Friday; it's very nicely done and I guess you could say that it's TV too. (I just couldn't let this sad moment pass without saying something...)
Kudos to producer Matthew Roberts who (I'm sure) worked through a few tears to put this one together...And farewell to a fine, old American newspaper...
