Ten Years Ago Today

The News Sentinel was a viable business entity in this community. Jack McElroy was at the now defunct Rocky Mountain News. Two students went into Columbine High School and carried out the worst public school tragedy that this country had ever seen and have seen since. Jack McElroy was directing the news coverage of Columbine and would later state that this event was "his finest moment"

Ten Years later Jack McElroy has ruined another newspaper that has continued to lay off hundreds of people and when they close the doors on the Big Metal Shed on the Hill it will be his second closure for E.W. Scripps.
