More info on new Ann Arbor print weekly

Offline a loyal FFE reader sent me a link to the new start-up free newspaper seeking to fill the hole left by the departure of the Ann Arbor News.

The person that sent this to me, a woman by the way, made mention of the interesting clothes choice made by the editor for this important public relations moment. In the interest of not getting in trouble with my wife or other female readers, I'm offering no further comment.

It is interesting that JRC, the Journal Register Company, who has rolled through the journalism landscape like Sherman to the sea in the Civil War, is up for trying yet another newspaper experiment.

At the end of the post, the editor mentions the bankruptcy, but says JRC is on the verge of emerging from it. That's kind of news.

Maybe the editor of the A2 Journal has the right idea.

The irony of a bankrupt company believing Ann Arbor remains a viable market for a newspaper is not lost on this reader.
