This summer, after scrapping plans to turn the paper into a tabloid, Hearst put it up for sale. Company executives, who flew from New York City to announce the shutdown in the paper's newsroom, said they were unable to find a buyer. Among those who declined to purchase the operation, which reportedly lost $2 million a month, were industrialist Marvin Davis and Jose Lozano, publisher of the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion.

In 1984, when he was still editor of the paper, Juan Gomez Martinez wrote, "To sit down with these despicable people, who are wanted by justice, is dishonest. It would twist the values of our country. It is an immoral and terrifying proposition." Gomez -- whose title became publisher when he was elected mayor of Medellin in 1988 -- has turned into a leading advocate of government...
