RadarOnline began publishing again on Monday, following the magazine’s closure and American Media Inc.‘s purchase of RadarOnline on Friday. We’ve heard from multiple tipsters about Radar‘s grim advertising picture prior to its shutdown, as well as AMI’s plans for relaunching the Web site with none of the previous editorial staff.

An ex-employee told us that “the only real warning sign” prior to
the regime change at Radar was that the “Friday paychecks
hadn’t been deposited” and “they also locked the online staff out of
the Web site… shortly before the official meeting.”
