<P><FONT size=2>Bob Greenberger, an editor with <I>Weekly World News</I>,
reports on </FONT><A href="http://bgb.malibulist.com/" target=_blank><FONT
size=2>his blog</FONT></A><FONT size=2> 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 <I>Weekly World News</I>. 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."</FONT></P>
