The effort of staff members to save the Rocky Mountain News is going public this week.
A group of employees has decided to proceed with a website to make their case that the newspaper should be saved. The site, , was launched Sunday night. Visitors are asked to post why the paper is important to them.
E.W. Scripps Co. announced two weeks ago it was putting its flagship newspaper up for sale. It expects it to lose $15 million this year.
Scripps says it might close the newspaper if there is no buyer by mid-January.
Along with the website, Rocky staffers and their supporters will be on the airwaves this week.
Today, reporter Kevin Flynn will be on the Peter Boyles show on 630 KHOW, which starts at 7 a.m., to discuss the initiative and will be joined by several other Rocky staffers.
