More on the closing of the Washington Blade

The Washington Blade, which marked its 40th year last month, has been shuttered by its parent company, Window Media, which reportedly has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Blade editor Kevin Naff said he and other former employees will try to launch a new LGBT publication in the nation's capital. Window's other publications, including the LGBT newspapers Southern Voice and the South Florida Blade, also have closed.
