All of this issues would have been addressed without a shutdown if the owners were properly capitalized for starting a new business.

Aren't the owners veterans of the newspaper business who have owned newspapers since the 60s? I am pretty sure they know what they are doing.

How did they get their original newspapers? Were they pre-existing or did they start them from scratch?

They said earlier they had two months' expenses as starting capital. That's never enough to start a new business, and it was predictable what would happen back then. And sure enough, they didn't even make it a week in their first attempt.

Twice in Detroit and in at least two other cities, they started papers from scratch.

What a poorly-written, sophomoric pantload. On the other hand, it's on examiner.com, so it's gotta be the truth.

And if I remember right, one of those cities was NYC.

The photo editor's blog was pretty interesting. I don't even know what to say about it.

and they still thought they had enough start-up money and a good plan? that says a lot. i understand you want to stand up for your company but maybe you should be concentrating on your own survival. the ddp coming back (and sticking around) sound very iffy at this point.

That photo editor was also featured in the Gannett Blog a few months ago when he was cut loose by the Freep. Looks like DMP bit him in the ass again.
