Capitol Hill Blue, the oldest daily news site on the Internet, has been sold to a group of working Washington journalists.
Doug Thompson Media, owner and operator of the web site since its debut on the Web on October 1, 1994, announced today that it has agreed to sell the site to Capitol Hill Journalism Partnership.
"Capitol Hill Blue is a pioneer in web-based journalism," said partnership spokesman William J. Lowrey. "We intend to honor that tradition and improve upon it."
The partnership is composed of working, Washington-based journalists who work for print, broadcast and web-based media outlets.
"We intend to use Blue as a test bed for new techniques and concepts for web journalism," Lowrey said.
Capitol Hill Blue first appeared on the web on October 1, 1994, as a one-page weekly newsletter published by veteran journalist Doug Thompson. He expanded publication to daily on January 1, 1995, and the site gained fame during the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky scandals of the Clinton administration.
Thompson left the publication earlier this month to pursue new opportunities.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed. The new owners will take control of the web site on April 1, 2003.

I am going to preface this by warning that I have no way of ascertaining if this William J. Lowery is that William J. Lowery. But if it is... lol
At about 1:30 a.m. on November 23, 1963, the Dallas Police searched the home of Joe R. Molina, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository. Later that day, Molina was questioned at police headquarters over a period of 6 or 7 hours. (Warren Commission Report, pp 237-238) Molina told the FBI that he had been asked if he was acquainted with a John Stanford. (CE 2036, 24 H 447) Dallas Police Chief Jesse E. Curry later told the FBI that the police had been suspicious of Molina because he had been involved in a veterans group, the American G. I. Forum. Intelligence reports indicated that several members of that group were allegedly Communists. In particular, Molina had been involved with a William J. Lowery. (CE 3132, 26 H 810-811) The Warren Commission found no basis for suspecting Molina...One of those testifying was William J. Lowery, who revealed that he had been acting as an FBI informant within the Communist Party since 1945. (Dallas Morning News, September 26, 1963, s. 1, p. 1; San Antonio Express, September 24, 1963, p. 1- A) Lowery's testimony that he had infiltrated the American G. I. Forum and other reputable groups created some controversy. An FBI spokesman denied that the FBI had ordered the infiltrations and said Lowery had been following the orders of the Communist Party in joining those groups. (San Antonio Express, September 25, 1963, p. 10-D; September 27, 1963, p. 5-B)...
