The media reassortments keep on coming. The latest news over the transom was the announcement that Ann Arbor Business Review is ceasing publication and will be replaced by a new “business channel” on AnnArbor.com. According to the story, “Ann Arbor Business Review executives said the weekly business-to-business news journal remained a strong editorial product despite a business climate that made the ongoing printing of a weekly product unsustainable”. I have indeed found this publication to be a good source of business-oriented news, often more timely and more insightful than coverage by the old Ann Arbor News. Apparently my paper copies will stop coming in August too.
There are now a steady parade of announcements across the top of the AnnArbor.com page, with new staff members and affiliations. One not there but which I welcome is the addition of Jennifer Haines of a2eatwrite as the food blogger. What I’m also not seeing is the offer I received by email yesterday. I’m now signed up to receive
- Daily digital newsletter
- Weekly Deals and more
- Daily Obituaries Update.
(These are three different feeds, and I can unsubscribe any time.)
The announcement said I was receiving the offer because of a prior relationship with the Ann Arbor News, MLive or Ann Arbor Business Review. I’d guess that they will be offered to the general public once AnnArbor.com is up and running.
