LGBT NEWS

The former staff at the Washington Blade reported back to the old building where their offices once were to try and resurrect the gay weekly that was closed Monday when Window Media decided to deck out of the gay print business.

Former Blade editor Kevin Naff and his staff (now working pro bono) met at a coffee shop in the lobby this morning trying to come up with a plan to press forward.  Naff still handed out assignments and sent his reporters on their way to gather the gay news.  The only problem is that they don't know how they're going to pay for it, distribute it or even what they'll call it.

"It could be a four-page Kinko's job, it could be an eight-page professionally printed paper, we're still figuring it out," Naff said. "It's to let people know we're still here, and still reporting the news." 

As an online magazine, our team here has to wonder if they're beating a dead horse.  As more and more people begin to rely on the web, it might be logical for the Blade to take their show online.
