They will probably auction them off at some point.
It'd be some wicked irony if they were Craiglisted, since internet ads have killed newspapers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22001429 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:36:49 EDT Re: [COLORADO] Denver's Rocky Mtn News closing Friday Feb 27, 20 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21996657 TKJunkMail :

Any idea on what's going to happen with all of the newspaper vending boxes? I'd very much like to have one to sit in my garage or basement.

We get it delivered at home. Tomorrow is the last day. We're told that we'll get the Denver Post delivered for the remainder of our subscription. I really liked the RMN's book style format.
This. I hate taking the Post to a cafe and having to fold pages. The Rocky was so convenient.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21996656 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 15:31:05 EDT Re: [COLORADO] Denver's Rocky Mtn News closing Friday Feb 27, 20 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21996642 rabidmoose : Any idea on what's going to happen with all of the newspaper vending boxes?

»www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2···edition/
The Rocky Mountain News publishes its last paper tomorrow.

Boehne told staffers that the Rocky was the victim of a terrible economy and an upheaval in the newspaper industry.

"Denver can't support two newspapers any longer," Boehne told staffers, some of whom cried at the news. "It's certainly not good news for you, and it's certainly not good news for Denver."

The Rocky has been in a joint operating agreement with The Denver Post since 2001. The arrangement approved by the U.S. Justice Department allowed the papers to share all business services, from advertising to printing, to preserve two editorial voices in the community.

The closure of the Rocky will mean Denver will have just one major newspaper, like the vast majority of American cities today.
