I’ll refrain from writing a lengthy piece on the press conference yesterday, March 16, launching the inelegantly named In Denver Times. Its creators – about 30 former Rocky Mountain News reporters and three entrepreneurs – are seeking 50,000 pledges to subscribe before they go ahead with the venture. Let’s just say I’m skeptical. A very good summary of the launch announcement appeared in Westword within a few hours. Read Westword’s piece here.

My contribution to the discussion will be confined to posting a semi-complete video of the event which, hopefully, is viewable below.
