Gloomy news about the newspaper industry keeps piling up.

Today we learned the Rocky Mountain News will be publishing its
final edition tomorrow.It's interesting to note that on the day Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced (according to this
Washington Post report) he will end a ban on pictures being taken of flag-draped coffins, in 2006, Todd Heisler, when he was with the Rocky Mountain News was awarded a Pulitzer for his heartbreaking behind-the-scenes look at funerals for Colorado Marines who returned from Iraq in caskets.Can the industry afford to lose many more such dedicated newspapers like the Rocky Mountain News?
