One more down, and more to go

IL PROSSIMO GIUGNO chiuderà anche l'Ann Arbor News. Era nelle edicole Usa da 174 anni. Non sarà l'ultimo.

Money Quote: DETROIT (AP) — The Ann Arbor News will cease publication in July after 174 years and will be replaced by a Web-focused community news operation built from the ground up.
Although AnnArbor.com plans print editions twice a week, officials stressed that the new Web site won't simply be the old newspaper delivered in a new format. News employees can apply for positions with the new company, but "job losses will be unavoidable," Publisher Laurel Champion said.
The end of the News was one of several major changes announced Monday at Michigan newspapers owned by the Newhouse family's Advance Publications. The Flint Journal, The Bay City Times and The Saginaw News said they will cut their print editions to three days a week.
