Huhn in fight to save Rocky Mountain News


Some visitors to BJ Alums might remember Kevin "Moose" Huhn, a sports statistician at the Beacon Journal in the late 1970s.

Now the deputy sports editor at the Rocky Mountain News, he writes about his career and the state of journalism on the "I want my Rocky" website, created by several Rocky employees to help save the paper, and encourage readers and supporters to voice their opinions on
why the Rocky should stay. See our earlier post on a rally at rhe newspaper.

The E.W. Scripps Co., which owns the News, has said it may close the newspaper if a buyer can't be found. That would leave The Denver Post as the last major newspaper in the city.

Read about the cause

Huhn worked as a sports statistician from 1976 to 1982. He left the BJ after graduating from Kent State.in May 1982. He joined the Rocky Mountain News in Denver in 1989 and
was promoted to deputy sports editor.

Is it Kuhn or Huhn?

I love this blog, but it really needs an editor.

What this blog needs is a filter to keep out gutless weasels who are afraid to sign their names to their comments. Your criticisms mean nothing to journalists. We spent much of our professional careers being sniped at by cowards.
