The Washington Blade stopped the presses Monday after 40 years, but another publication serving the gay community may rise in its ashes.
(Richardson, V., 2009, November 17, par.1)

Kevin Naff, editor of the now-defunct Blade, said Monday he's working to put together an employee-run newspaper with the same staff. Already, he said, "several investors have lined up," while others have offered office space to the newly planned publication. "We got dragged down by forces beyond our control, so now we're taking control," Mr. Naff said.
(Richardson, V., 2009, November 17, par.2-3)

On Monday, Window Media, the Blade's parent company, ceased operations of all its publications, which include the Southern Voice, the Houston Voice, the South Florida Blade and 411 Magazine.
