Michigan paper shuts down

The Ann Arbor News today printed its last edition, putting an end to its 174-year history.

The staff had been told in March that the paper’s owner, Advance Publications, was planning to shut down the daily. According to the Detroit Free Press, the newsroom staff was already down to 20 from 60 four months ago. More than 200 people will be out of a job. A small group of people will stay on to work for AnnArbor.com, an online news site that will launch tomorrow.
