Staff at the Dayton, Ohio paper have not been paid regularly since May 1, the
local daily reports. Impact is one of the two remaining papers in the Yesse! Communications chain, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2001. Yesse! exec Kerry
Farley says May 2002
was the paper’s best month yet, but
that advertisers aren't paying up. "It’s a
collections issue. But it’s also a
problem with alternative newspapers in
general," Farley
said. The paper's editors have
threatened to resign en masse.
