After 149 years and 311 days, the Rocky Mountain News published its final edition on February 27, 2009. The project was begun on Dec. 4th, when E.W. Scripps announced that the paper was for sale. It was shot and edited during the intervening months, but a great deal of final editing was done in the past week and well into last night by Matthew Roberts.
