Toledo Blade financial difficulties

Re: recent Tiger Force expose.

Might explain the reporters diligence in getting a "hot" story. Nevermind if
it's true or not. Sensational and maybe a Pulitzer. bastards

From the Toronto Star:

"It's public knowledge that the Blade isn't doing as well as it should be
doing," says Royban.
"The paper is not real healthy right now."
And yet, amid falling ad lineage and dwindling revenues, the Blade nonetheless
embarked upon what would have been an ambitious and risky investigative project
for a newspaper many times its size and with a much healthier balance sheet.
"It's like drilling for oil," says Blade publisher John Robinson Block. "You
might not have a story when you're done."
He admits there were times, as the months dragged on with little to show, when
he wondered if the series would ever appear.
But appear it did, and some pundits in the United States are already mentioning
the Toledo Blade in the same breath as the words "Pulitzer Prize," the nation's
premier award for journalism.
