The next news source for Rocky Mountain readers?

By Reynolds Staff on Mar 17, 2009 in Basics, Uncategorized

Former staffers from the recently shut down Rocky Mountain News are planning to start an online news publication, InDenverTimes.com, according to reports from the Associate Press.
The site could go live in May if the backers of the project get 50,000 paying subscribers by April 23 – the date that would have been the paper’s 150th anniversary.
From the story:

The site would offer some news free, with advertising revenue footing part of the bill. Readers who buy subscriptions starting at $4.99 a month for a year’s commitment would get extra features, including columns, interactive features, feeds to mobile devices and customizable content. “Great journalism can still be good business,” said Kevin Preblud, one of the three entrepreneurs behind the venture.
