 DNA was jointly owned by Scripps and MediaNews from 2001 until the discontinuance of the "Rocky Mountain News".While the newspapers shared an advertising and circulation department, they still published separately (except during the weekends, when only the "News" was published on Saturday and only the "Post" on Sunday; both newspapers' editorial pages appeared in both weekend papers) and maintained their rivalry.The JOA was dissolved on February 27, 2009, when the "News" published its last issue.
