The article discusses the impact of the transition of Ann Arbor News from daily print to digital operations on Ann Arbor, Michigan. It notes that AnnArbor.com was an insufficient substitute with an anemic coverage. It indicates that residents of Ann Arbor are degree holders, intelligent and highly illiterate and losing a daily paper is missed by many Ann Arbor residents. It cites comments posted by readers which criticized the Web site for limited or nonexistent coverage while some readers have chosen to ignore the site. It points out that while residents are warming up to the idea of AnnArbor.com, Ann Arbor residents are turning to online newspaper Ann Arbor Chronicle.
