More on Weekly World News  closing
By Ian Randal  Strock  July 22, 2007    
Bob Greenberger, an editor with Weekly World News,  reports on _his blog_ 
(http://bgb.malibulist.com/)  that he and the rest of the staff  were called into 
a meeting about noon on Friday where they were "told the  Board of Directors 
has chosen to close Weekly World News. The  reasons given make no sense. We're 
stunned and shell-shocked. We're to  stay on through August 3, finishing the 
reprint issues and then we're  done. A glorious, funny, odd publication, born 
in 1979, will go out with a  whimper and all I can think is that something's 
going on that they're not  telling us because it just doesn't make sense." 
This is a follow-on to _Weekly World News Shutting  Down_ 
(http://sfscope.com/2007/07/weekly-world-news-shutting-dow.html) , which was posted yesterday.

Looks  like the Curse of Groo has sank another of Sergio's employers: the 
Weekly  World News.
