A2: Media

Michigan Messenger – a “center for independent media” – debuts its new site design with a post by editor Todd Spencer. He gives a shout out to UM communications lecturer Tony Collings, citing him as “our journalism mentor” and someone who helps “hold Michigan Messenger together.” “Tony is a veteran of CNN, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press and whom you might know as the guy who drives all over Ann Arbor at 25 mph to save on gas,” Spencer writes.
