1) What's the article about? Summarize it.
This article is about a newspaper in Colorado, that has won four pulzer prizes, and has been around for over a century going out of bussiness. Where they had been sitting on suspence for three months prior. There was over 200 people that lost their job from the Rocky Mountain News during this crisis in our economy.

2) How does the story connect to our journalism class and journalism as a profession in general?
I think it really makes some journalism students think about what they'll do after high school. Jobs are just not secure these days and we need to know this. Many people in this room I know would strive working for a big time newspaper. Even if not going into the feild of journalism it makes you realize how important it is to find a reliable job, and even then you can't be too sure.

3) What questions does the story leave you with after reading it? List at least two.
What will these people do when they no longer work for this newspaper?

Isn't there anyother ways they could stay in bussiness?

And how could such an amazing paper go under when they have won so many awards?
