The Trib dies

The Albuquerque Tribune published its last edition today. Here's a video piece from abqtrib.com about the paper's closing, featuring long time staffers (most of them my former coworkers and forever friends) talking about the Trib. I can't tell you how sad I am about the Trib's death. I worked at the PM newspaper from 1994 to 2000, and the place made me a better journalist and better person. The world is a dimmer place without it.
It's interesting that the Tribune's website says it will stay up through March, but that Scripps hasn't figured out what it will do for content. Are there any newspapers that shut down but continued online only?

I don't think any newspapers that stopped publishing have continued online. I would think the Trib could have drawn enough eyeballs online to make it profitable.
