The announcement did not make clear what, if anything, would be left with the Copley Press name. Platinum Equity agreed in March 2009 to purchase the "Union-Tribune" for an unspecified sum. Copley Press currently is working with Evercore Partners, the same company that helped sell off other business units, to determine a price for the remaining assets. Declining advertising revenue was cited as the reason for the company's dissolution. Copley News Service and The San Diego "Union-Tribune", with notable work by Marcus Stern and Jerry Kammer, won the 2006 National Reporting prize for their disclosure that former Congressman Randy Cunningham received bribes, which ultimately led to his criminal conviction and imprisonment. Additionally, the San Diego "Evening Tribune", predecessor of the "Union-Tribune", won Pulitzer Prizes in 1987 and 1979. In the late 1970s, the American media reported that the Copley Press was used as a front by the Central Intelligence Agency. Reporters Joe Trento and Dave Roman claimed that James S. Copley, who served as publisher until 1973, had cooperated with the CIA since its founding in 1947. They also reported that a subsidiary division, Copley News Service, was used in Latin America by the CIA as a front. Trento and Roman also said that reporters at the Copley-owned San Diego "Union and Evening News" spied on antiwar protesters for the FBI. They alleged that, at the height of these operations, at least two dozen Copley employees were simultaneously working for the CIA. James S. Copley was also accused of involvement in the CIA-funded Inter-American Press Association.
