The crisis drowns the Rocky Mountain News
Final Edition from Matthew Roberts on Vimeo.
The Rocky Mountain News, the oldest newspaper of Colorado, in the United States of America, closed last February 27 after 149 years and 311 days of existence. The company Scripps, owner of the newspaper of Denver, decided to put it to the sale before the inability to face to the losses accumulated of more than 16 million dollars in the year 2008, but nobody bought it. Matthew Robers, multimedia editor of the newspaper, has produced this video that gathers the interviews to some readers, journalists and editors and uses as farewell as one as the symbols of the crisis of the press.
