Patch Poll: Where Do You Get Your News?
Patch asks the question on the heels of news that more than 500 employees of newspapers around the state will be out of jobs in January.
Booth Newspapers confirmed last week that more than 500 layoff notices have been issued to employees at six newspapers in Michigan as the company prints fewer papers and its owners plan a greater online focus. It was a harsh blow to those facing job loss and those who still prefer newspapers to get their news. The changes, according to a report Friday on MLive, "involve the launch of two new companies and both are hiring: MLive Media Group and Advanced Central Services Michigan." Which begs the question: Do you read newspapers anymore? How DO you get your news and information? Answer our poll, then add your thoughts.
