FishbowlDC reports that Window Media LLC, the nation's largest gay and lesbian newspaper publisher is closing down. Some of the newspapers they publish ininclude the Washington Blade, South Florida Blade & 411 Magazine, Genre Magazine and Southern Voice.

Politico is also confirming that the LGBT publisher is closing its doors. The closure announcement was also posted on the Washington Blade twitter account. The New York Times has also published a story about the publisher closing its doors.

Although it seems like a surprise move Blade editor Kevin Naff says it is more the abruptness that is surprising. Naff told the Times, "We found out when two of the corporate officers were waiting for us when we got to work this morning. It's not a complete surprise. The abruptness of it was what was surprising."
