"After 149 years and 311 days, the Rocky Mountain News published its final edition on February 27, 2009. "

This incredibly touching and well-edited video makes a fitting epitaph. Even if you have no interest in the subject, it is video worthy of watching strictly from a journalism standpoint.

Nicely done. I read the paper here in Raleigh every day. I'll certainly miss it if ours eventually shuts down.

I like the editing in this Rocky Mountain News video. There are some techniques I like using in my videos. I like the way they have mixed the interviews and the b-roll footage.

"I like the way they have mixed the interviews and the b-roll footage."

That struck me too. The other thing I liked was the interplay of the side-by-side frames.
