By Julie Wernau | The Chicago Free Press — one of two newspapers in the city geared
toward a gay audience — has ceased publication after paychecks stopped
for more than a month and attempts to reach the newspaper’s publisher
proved unsuccessful, Managing Editor Kerrie Kennedy said Monday.
Kennedy broke the news this morning with a statement posted on
ChicagoPride.com.
“Due to health problems, publisher David Costanzo is no longer funding
the operation of Chicago Free Press. Consequently, the paper’s April 29
issue was not published, and it is not expected that any additional
issues will be published,” Kennedy wrote.
