Scripps closer to selling Rocky’s archives

E.W. Scripps. Co. is finalizing agreements with two Colorado institutions to handle the remaining intellectual and physical property from the defunct Rocky Mountain News.
Scripps, which closed the paper Feb. 27, is close to a deal with the Denver Public Library to assume ownership of the paper’s archives. Material in the deal includes all digital and paper clipping files, biographical and general files, microfilm reels, digital and photo files, books, correspondence and marketing materials.
A similar agreement is being negotiated between Scripps and the Colorado Historical Society, which will assume ownership of signs, photographs, special editions, artwork and other information that documents the history of the Rocky.
