A Sad End to a Great Paper

Although Richard posted a link to a mutlimedia slideshow about the Alburqueque Tribune’s last day, I figured I would provide a more comprehensive series of links having to do with the end of one of the finest newspapers in America.

First, an absolute, must see/read slideshow from the current and past photo staff of the Tribune. Some amazing photographers and editors have made their way through the paper, and many of them share very interesting and insightful thoughts in the presentation. Second there are a couple of interesting videos about the paper’s last day and another on long-time Tribune subscribers.

For anyone unfamiliar with the story of how the end of the paper came about here are several stories:

• The Trib’s news story
• A great column about what the end of the paper means to journalism
• An Editor and Publisher story with some details about the past, present and future of the situation

Good luck to all the great journalists from the Trib
