Washington Blade
The ''Washington Blade'' is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) newspaper in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The ''Blade'' is the oldest LGBT newspaper in the United States and third largest by circulation, behind the ''Philadelphia Gay News'' and the ''Gay City News'' of New York City. The ''Blade'' is often referred to as America's gay newspaper of record because it chronicled LGBT news locally, nationally, and internationally. ''The New York Times'' said the ''Blade'' is considered "one of the most influential publications written for a gay audience."
The paper was originally launched by a group of volunteers as an independent publication in October 1969 with a focus on bringing the community together. In 2001, the ''Blade'' was purchased by Window Media LLC,〔 a group of gay-oriented newspapers circulated throughout the United States〔 〕 with a staff composed of professional journalists, becoming a leading source of news for the readers both in Washington and around the nation. The paper publishes weekly on Fridays〔 and celebrated its fortieth anniversary in October 2009.〔
In November 2009, the ''Blade'' and several related publications, including the ''Southern Voice'', were shut down after Window Media announced it was closing business.〔 After ''Blade'' staff members were told they no longer had jobs, plans were made for a new gay publication entitled ''DC Agenda'', since the trademark for ''Washington Blade'' was still held by the now-defunct Window Media.〔
It was announced on April 27, 2010 that the ''DC Agenda'' would rename itself to the ''Washington Blade''. The ownership group of the ''Agenda'' consisted of many former staff members of the ''Blade'', whom purchased the trademark and paper archives out of bankruptcy court. The first issue of the newly independent ''Blade'' debuted on April 30, 2010.
