RIP Ann Arbor News

A sad day for the A2 community, as the Ann Arbor News will close its doors in July.

My fingers are crossed that my buddies Geoff Larcom and Jim Carty (when he finishes Toledo Law) will be able to stay in the area and continue their journalistic goodness around here.

Don't think this is an opening for the Michigan Daily to broaden its reach, either. The Daily depends on the AA News just like the AA News depends on the Daily for certain things. The AA News was the best at covering Michigan football and basketball...and I'm a little sad that the Detroit News & Free Press are going to have to pick up the void.
