Thanks for sharing some thoughts and photos. Like David, I am also saddened by the demise of newspapers, especially the Rocky Mountain News. My first job as a kid was when I was 10. I delivered the Rocky. After a year of that, I expanded my "empire" and picked up a Denver Post route as well (the Post was an afternoon then). Being a Denver-area native, I had many friends at the Rocky and always remember that as the start of my journalism career. ... And on another note, Clay, you make me feel very old. That Radio Shack word processor you display at the top is just like the one I used when I first started my career going on 20 years ago. Then, it was the latest and I loved it.

At least four hours of enjoyment for those of us in the business, if not more. Yes, info on community journalism would be nice. I hope someone doesn't get the lousy idea to set up a "morgue" for the recently departed papers in Seattle, Denver, Ann Arbor and maybe others. Clay, I’ve been to the Newseum and echo your thoughts.
