Reader Parent Files For Bankruptcy
How weird, after reading a particularly sharp and on-point criticism [via Gapers Block] of The Reader's consistent decline in quality in the recent past we came across earlier today, we now learn that the company that bought the paper in 2007 -- Creative Loafing -- has just filed for bankruptcy. They claim this move will alow them to reduce the cuts to editorial staff the company had planned, but given how the weekly's changed since being bought we're not exactly sure that's good news.

Do you people need a business editor? The house rejected the bailout plan and the dow is down over 600. Might be a good idea to see what this means for Chicago companies.
