Mystery ad hints at new Raliegh paper

This ad at Craigslist.org prompted a story in the Raliegh News and Observer. Excerpt below.

Raleigh might soon get a new daily newspaper.
A want ad appearing on the Web site craigslist.org seeks writers for "a daily news operation publishing Monday through Friday to be opened in Raleigh later this year."

The company placing the ad bills itself as an "established newspaper company" but doesn't identify itself. Nor does the ad give a sense of the scale of the planned new venture. Efforts to reach the company through the ad elicited an e-mail response that the venture isn't yet far enough along to talk about its plans.

It's unclear whether a printed newspaper, presumably with a companion online edition, is in the works. Another possibility would be an online- only publication.
