GateHouse Sues Copley for Breach of Contract
Oh fer crying ... I learned about the lawsuit, but didn't have the details. I posted a brief article about it. I couldn't access the PDF files because I don't have a Pacer account. A source emailed the PDF files. I uploaded them to my site and posted a link. I summarized them and posted an article. A reader of my site emailed Mr. Bauder. There's no controversy or dispute over how EITHER of us got the files, which are public record and relatively easy to obtain.— August 2, 2009 5:35 a.m.

And thank you for your kind comments about my little blog.— August 1, 2009 8:16 p.m.
GateHouse Sues Copley for Breach of Contract
Burwell: I never claimed it was on par with the Pentagon Papers. Paying for the download wasn't an option for me at the time. I posted a link to me site because, well, I hoping to get some hits. If readers of this article can learn a thing or two from my site, so much the better. Mr. Bauder: The Journal Star is one of the bigger revenue producers in GateHouse's stable, according to folks I have spoken to. A while back, when GateHouse stock tanked, there was talk GateHouse might be selling holdings off piece by piece. In a sense, the collapse of the economy might have put that to rest. Who would buy the pieces now? Few people in Peoria are fold of GateHouse, but they mostly blame Copley for the sorry state of affairs and for screwing over retirees.— August 1, 2009 8:15 p.m.
GateHouse Sues Copley for Breach of Contract
Not to complain too much, because the story is more important that the stort teller, but the Peoria website mention is mine: Peoria Pundit. It's at http://peoriapundit.com/blogpeoria. Thanks. And remember, GateHouse is the organization that took the New York Times to court because the NYT set up a regional news portal page filled with headlines and ledes from GateHouse newspapers in that region. And the NYT backed down. But I would agree with Mr. Bauder: GateHouse got taken to the cleaners. GateHouse bought the Journal Star right after the Copley bought a big expensive press, and assumed all the debt for that. And the value of a priting press becomes less and less each year.— August 1, 2009 3:09 p.m.
