Rocky Mountain News to close, publish final edition Friday
Friday, February 27th, 2009Executives from E.W. Scripps Co., announce their decision on the future of the Rocky Mountain News in the 150-year-old newspaper’s newsroom on 2/26/09 in Denver. In December 2008, the Rocky’s parent company put the paper up for sale, citing multi-million dollar annual losses.
I wonder if cheap electricity would help run their costs and maybe stay alive? but if they are anything like my hometown paper- they deserve death. my hometown paper is called the morning call. During experiments and concluding upon palm sunday 2007 i have tried to communicate with my paper to see if any kind of writeup may be given after risking my life over a one million volt experiment to end the global energy crisis- several attempts via email phone call and even personal visiting on GOOD FRIDAY i was turned away with “we’ll get back to you”.They did nothing- my hometown does nothing-friends dont do anything- my nearby universities I’ve tried to communicate with(lehigh) _ doesn’t even bother returning emails as every university in USA never has- what a disgusting society that has transpired.
If human beings cannot witness one another in times of peace with ideas and solutions for the betterment of mankind- THEN WAR COMES-always have- and it seems it will continue- I gleefully expect to witness the death of our local newspaper in order for many to stand in bread lines to honor our fathers prayer
- let the monkey race learn the hard way how to be a better human being- as it is clear they dont understand the ways of the lamb-
what a shame- the solution to global energy crisis under everyone’s nose- i might as well discover this in the middle of the Brazilian jungle- for the savages here are no different- what Christ?
I have been witness to so much ugliness as I FREELY present a solution to the energy crisis- here is one example: a gentlemen( I assume) wrote an email last summer of 2008 and it went something like this(my apologies for no cut and paste but I usually delete all mail as a habit)
“Dear Mr. azar
I am a research fellow with a staff of 2 chemist- 2 physicists- electrical engineer and a machinist and one million dollars worth of equipment and I want to repeat your experiment. In light of the controversy with cold fusion, i must keep my credentials secret.”
I believe people are so UGLY they would even pose as a person like this ONLY for me to stop promoting my deeds in science out of jealousy-arrogance-stupidity- whatever- I am sick and tired of people games with sex drugs and ugliness- your economy shall completely crumble- you will wake up when you witness the death of your children- a shame- for utopia is here on a silver platter- yet- the children of god would still play atheistic scumbag savages- you WILL learn the hard way
but here is another one that bothers me- I emailed Arthur c Clarke after my experiment several months before he passed on- he is well known for his work and interests in cold fusion- I knew he would have enjoyed this Tesla coil approach- i received an email return right away the same day- i thought that was odd- it was from an assistant- he said “DONE” as if he gave it to him- now i realize he never did- my whole time upon the net emailing universities or energy department never get past the secretary- TRULY- it is that pathetic- people who review in beginning cast judgment and never pass it on-
ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly society- YOU will learn the hard way
UPDATE- march 16-2009- first major paper is closing- GOOD- let the ignorant society learn why people don’t subscribe- why people foreclose on homes- why the bottom strata of life- the poor and middle class are hit by the ENERGY CRISIS- until America figures it out- the will to find solution will never happen-and thus my experiment stays in the realm of quackery- GOOD- let it all fail for monkey to learn as YOU are too arragant and abusive to investigate TRUTH
Seattle paper moves online only
The online operation will have a reduced editorial staff
|
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the 146-year-old US newspaper, will print its final edition on Tuesday before becoming a strictly online operation.
Owner Hearst Corporation has failed in its attempts to find a buyer for the paper, put on sale in January.
America’s newspaper industry has been badly hit by the downturn, and a number of titles face closure.
The decision to go solely online is the first such venture for a large US paper.
However, the website will be run solely as a source of local news and opinion, rather than an internet incarnation of the former newspaper.
There will be an editorial staff of 20, compared to the previous 150. The remaining editorial staff will be expected to write, edit, take photos, and shoot video.
“We don’t feel like we have to cover everything ourselves,” said a statement from Michelle Nicolosi, who will lead the site as executive producer.
“We’ll partner for some content; we won’t duplicate what the wire is reporting unless we have something unique to offer; we’ll continue to showcase the great content from our 150 or so reader bloggers and we’ll link to content partners and competitors to create the best mix of news on our front page.”
Industry woes
Seattle follows Denver in losing a daily newspaper this year, after the Rocky Mountain news closed.
And in Arizona, Gannett’s Tucson Citizen is set to close on Saturday, leaving one newspaper in that city.
Last month the San Francisco Chronicle said it plans to cut a “significant” number of jobs to meet cost-cutting targets, and that if the targets are not met, then the paper could be sold or closed down.
The New York Times is struggling to service debts of some $400m, amid dwindling cash reserves and plunging revenue.
Last year it had to mortgage its gleaming new headquarters (built in 2007 with much fanfare) to bolster its cash flow.
The Tribune Company, which owns the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun and many other titles, filed for bankruptcy in December, and although its newspapers remain in publication, the repercussions of the bankruptcy filing are likely to lead to restructuring.
Three other newspaper companies have also filed for bankruptcy in recent months.
They are Star Tribune Holding Corporation (which owns the Minneapolis Star-Tribune), the Journal Register Company (which owns the New Haven Register and a number of other titles in the North East), and Philadelphia Newspapers LLC (which owns Philadelphia’s two top newspapers, the Inquirer and the Daily News).
The American newspaper industry has been hit by falling advertising revenue in recent years.
