For anybody who has practiced PR in the Denver area, the final printing of the Rocky Mountain News on Friday brought sadness and reflection on the many friendships and professional acquaintances developed over the years.
Many times the relationship between PR professionals and journalists can be challenging, but the mutual respect developed over the years leaves me feeling a great deal of sadness for the many true professionals who are suddenly jobless. And regardless of whether we agreed in every instance with the handling of a particular story, the presence of two newspapers competing for stories and challenging one another made our community better.
So, thank you to all of you at the Rocky Mountain News who have been a big part of our professional lives, especially our good friends in sports, Sam Adams, Jeff Legwold, Lee Rasizer, Dave Krieger, Aaron Lopez, Lynn DeBruin and Kevin "Moose" Huhn, to name just a few.
Here's hoping brighter days are ahead.
