A2: Ann Arbor News

By

NBC Nightly News aired a report about the closing of the Ann Arbor News, interviewing editor-in-chief Ed Petykiewicz, publisher Laurel Champion – who will be joining the new online company, AnnArbor.com – and Stefanie Murray, AnnArbor.com’s community director. The report also includes interviews from people at the Ann Arbor Senior Center and David Brophy, a UM business professor identified only as a “reader.” Says Petykiewicz: “I’m excited to watch it, but at the same time I’m very sad that for me and for this staff, watching it means not having a daily newspaper in this community.” [Source]
