A number of former Rocky Mountain News staffers have announced the launch of indenvertimes.com, an online news site with the aim of keeping the Rocky alive.
The E.W. Scripps Co. closed the Rocky Mountain News last month after failing to find a qualified buyer.
To launch the site, In Denver Times needs 50,000 subscribers by April 23, 2009, the 150th anniversary of the Rocky Mountain News. If that goal is reached, the full site will launch on Monday, May 4, 2009.
