Today, Kim Humphreys is relaunching the web site IwantmyRocky.com. After the Rocky closed, we temporarily used the site to post news — primarily from Kevin Flynn, the Rocky’s Spotlight staff and a group of copy editors who were dedicated to seeing something emerge from the wreckage. When the group became involved with INDenverTimes, we shut down the site. Now, Kim is picking up where we left off back in March. We may have lost our paper, but we still need to save the news. What happened in Denver, happened in Seattle and Tucson, and it will happen more places before the end of the year. IwantmyRocky.com was always about more than saving our jobs, it was about saving what our jobs meant.

On Dec. 4, Scripps executives announced the company would attempt to sell the Rocky Mountain News, a decision that many rightly believed would lead to the newspaper closing. A week later, staff members of the Rocky met at the Denver Press Club to find a way to stop what felt inevitable, an effort that resulted in IwantmyRocky.com and later to INDenverTimes.com and later to . . . something. This is the story of those few months.

It’s March 20 already? What happened. Oh, yeah, right. This: http://www.indenvertimes.com/
