The simple way to save a newspaper

Staff of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver continue their online campaign to save the newspaper from closure if a buyer doesn’t come forward by the middle of this month.

Among the personal stories of Rocky staff and the testimonials from loyal readers at the I Want My Rocky blog are four requests from the paper’s staff to their readers:

  • Send a letter to a member Colorado’s congressional delegation to ask that Department of Justice ensure that this process adheres to the spirit and the letter of the Newspaper Preservation Act.
  • Send a letter to the members on the board of E.W. Scripps (owner of the Rocky Mountain News) reminding them how much you value your newspaper.
  • Leave a comment on any of our blog posts, send us an email or a letter telling us what the loss of the Rocky Mountain News would mean to you.

And the one that is the most important — but perhaps the least likely to happen in this day and age:

  • Buy a newspaper.
