In fairness, was the local paper in Ann Arbor ever any good? (I lived there from '01-'05).

Small communities have been poorly served by local papers long before the Internet ate them.

I don't think it was ever very good, but they did fire a bunch of people I would consider competent. Apparently competent is too expensive.

It was OK for a community of that size in 75-83.
