The Ann Arbor News, and many other failing newspapers, also have contracted with several independent contractors (adult motor route drivers) who deliver their newspapers to subscribers and retail outlets. For many of them, newspaper delivery has been their only source of income for years and they will now be out of work. Since they are independent contractors and have little “real” job experience, they’ll have no access to unemployment and few prospects for other jobs. They will not be “invited to apply” for jobs with the new online company. This is an aspect media does not cover. It’s just sad how many people will have nothing, now that the news is folding.

This, to me, is the most shocking news to date. A newspaper in a top college town, with circulation of 45,000 and 58,000, closing? These type of newspapers are supposed to be the strength of the industry right now, if there are any strengths. They didn’t even resort to layoffs first?

Unless the Michigan economy just buried it along with the two Detriot papers.

I am stunned and even more concerned by this news.
