Print drops, online improves for MLive.com
MLive.com is reporting mixed, but expected numbers in the first stage of their new business. I'll leave it to others to analyze the numbers. But give credit where it is due, they did report the numbers for folks to read and that's a positive thing.
My bet is that they chose to publish their own story a week after the numbers were released because they knew the other story in mibiz was coming and it would not be so filled with spin.
Looks like Advance is taking the Michigan experiment elsewhere:
