A2: Ann Arbor News

Writing on the Random Camera blog, Mark O’Brien shares his thoughts about the announced closing of The Ann Arbor News: “It’s a sad commentary that a city the size of Ann Arbor cannot support a daily newspaper. I know that things have been tough on newspapers all over the country. But I wonder is it truly symptomatic of declining advertising revenues because of the web that some papers are going under, or is it the result of larger syndicates and big corporations that have only the shareholder’s interest, and not that of the people that they serve?” [Source]
