Suicide suspected in death LAT transsexual sportswriter Penner
LATimes.com
Mike Penner, 52, who announced in 2007 that he was "a transsexual sportswriter" and was changing his name to Christine Daniels, was found dead in his home. "He was one of the most talented writers I've ever worked with," says Los Angeles Times sports editor Mike James. "He was a gentle man, a kind man. It's just a tragedy."|| Earlier Penner/Daniels posts.

Detroit Daily Press temporarily suspends operations
Detroit News
The paper, which launched on Monday, has had trouble getting paid advertisers, as well as operations problems. "Due to circumstances beyond our control, lack of advertising, lateness of our press runs and lack of distribution and sales, we find it necessary to temporarily suspend publication ... until after the (first) of the year," says a Daily Press statement. "This is just a bump in the road and not the end of the Detroit Daily Press."
