It's possible Voldemort could want revenge against the publisher of 
the Quibbler because of Harry's interview, but what would be the 
point?

What better place for evil to strike then at the press? The Quibbler 
was always independent in its thinking and was the only publication 
that was willing to publish "the truth" about Voldemort's return. 
The Daily Prophet was clearly anti-Harry and anti-Dumbledore, under 
the control of the MoM. THEY didnt publish the interview. 
OOP made it clear that the DL felt it necessary to act secretly until 
he had the prophecy. The Quibbler was the first act of exposure. 
All the more reason to send a thug like Goyle to brutally and 
physically mess things up..... Much better message than magic.

  The Daily Prophet printed the same interview later, so would 
Voldemort then try to kill everyone who worked at the Daily Prophet 
as well?  I think Voldemort knew that he couldn't stay under the 
radar forever.  His return was bound to be discovered and *believed* 
eventually.  Besides, I think he'll blame the entire interview on, 
who else?, Harry himself for giving it in the first place.

The Daily Prophet published the story after the danger had passed - 
they didnt "break" the story. By the time the Daily Prophet publised 
it, harry was now a Hero again.
