The Ann Arbor (Mich.) News printed its last edition last week, succeeded by a new Web site and twice-a-week print complementary publication called AnnArbor.com.
Advance Publications this spring said it would close the 174-year-old News in favor of a Web-centric distribution strategy.
The print product is distributed Thursdays and Sundays, with the first edition sent to readers yesterday.
The News’ production plant, anchored by a 42-unit Goss International Magnum press that went on-edition earlier this decade, remains in operation as a stand-along entity. In addition to the printed AnnArbor.com print publication, the plant prints a regional edition of The New York Times and the Jackson (Mich.) Citizen-Patriot.
Advance in March said it would shutter The News as part of a plan that also saw a reduction in print days of sister Michigan papers The Flint Journal, The Bay City Times and Saginaw News from seven to three.
