That’s the hope of just-laid-off Blade editor Kevin Naff, who, after gathering supporters tonight for a pep rally, plans on publishing a new print paper by Friday. It’ll have a new name (the Blade names belong to Window Media’s bankruptcy trustee at this point), but we’re guessing plenty of the same bylines. In the meantime, they have to find a way to actually print the thing: “It could be a four-page Kinko’s job, it could be an eight-page professionally printed paper, we’re still figuring it out.” Either way, we’re hoping the A1 story explains what, exactly, happened between the Small Business Administration and potential buyers.

The should have used the National Equality March to save The Blade. Then, it wouldn’t have been a total waste of money.

considering Barney Frank is running around trying to say that they are planning to move on DADT and ENDA in the coming year and they always planned it, but gee whiz they forgot to mention it until now, I wouldn’t say it did nothing.
As for the Blade, if Kevin gets it back to the paper it used to be I’m all for it, a local paper that covered the DC area AND wrote on the interesting national stories. What it has been for the last few years is a paper that ran exactly the same generalized stories as Southern Voice and Bay Windows. Nothing different and hardly anything local. Fingers crossed for them.
