Michigan Radio reports on this week’s layoffs of 14 staffers at AnnArbor.com, most of them from its newsroom. The report quotes Tony Collings, a University of Michigan communications professor and former journalist, who says many people were looking at AnnArbor.com to see if it would be some kind of model for the future: “Apparently it isn’t, or at least it doesn’t seem to be succeeding in a business way, and I don’t know whether it is succeeding journalistically either.” [Source]
