Journalism recently suffered one of its worst circulation declines in years: a drop of more than ten percent in the a six month period ending September 30, 2009. \u003ci\u003eThe Rocky Mountain News\u003c\/i\u003e in Denver, CO, closed its doors in 2009--after it dominated the AP awards in 2008, and was lauded for an investigative expose on unfair treatment of former nuclear workers.
