Michigan: Newspapers

The Kalamazoo Gazette, Muskegon Chronicle and Grand Rapids Press – newspapers owned by the same company that owned the former Ann Arbor News and that owns AnnArbor.com – announced layoffs on Friday morning. From a Michigan Radio report: “The newspaper owners would not make anyone available for a recorded interview, but in a published statement, the company says the three newspapers are actually in a better situation than a year ago. It says the latest steps are an effort to find more efficiencies.” [Source]
