That's just unbelievable... but considering the editor announced his retirement last week, not surprising.

This is jawdropping. They built a new printing plant a couple of years ago.

EDIT: And they've recycled Tony Dearing as the content guy? The consumate corporate lackey

What does this say for Flint, Saginaw, Jackson and Muskegon if Ann Arbor goes...

It was rumored that Bay City, Saginaw and Flint are going 3-days a week. The others were consolidating print already.

And I could have sworn I heard that Booth was going all online about a year ago, but you could say that about any newspaper now.

So much for the theory that the smaller papers would be the ones to survive.
