PHILADELPHIA (AP) - June 1, 2009 Employees of The Bulletin say they were informed Monday
afternoon by Publisher /*Thomas Rice*/ that the paper couldn't afford
to operate any longer. Rice told The Philadelphia Inquirer by
e-mail Monday night that he didn' t want to comment. Attempts by The
Associated Press to reach Rice by phone and by e-mail were not
immediately successful.
Another paper called the Bulletin had long been Philadelphia's
dominant newspaper but shut down in 1982. Rice got permission from
the family that published that paper to use its name.
Meredith Cunningham, who handled page layouts for the sports
section, told the Inquirer that employees hadn't been paid on time
for several months.
