The Ann Arbor News has gone out of business, closed its doors, and said its 'good-byes.' After 174 years of delivering a daily printed paper seven days a week, The News closed up shop for good on Thursday, July 23, 2009. Its large, two-story granite and limestone newspaper building will be put up for sale. All but a couple dozen of its 272 former employees are searching for work.
Newspaper Casualties are Adding Up
Perhaps that piece of news seems trivial, given that it is the same fate that has been happening to much bigger names in the newspaper business. For example, since the beginning of 2009, bankruptcy has been declared by the parent companies of these newspapers:
- Chicago Tribune
- Los Angeles Times
- Baltimore Sun
- Philadelphia Inquirer
- Philadelphia Daily News
- Minneapolis Star Tribune
The Seattle Post Intelligencer (146 years old) closed down its presses in March, and became a digital only operation, and the 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News shut down completely in February.
