Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:51pm on Thursday, August 20th, 2009 | Time Inc. is buying real estate in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reported on August 16, 2009:
"The buzz along the fancy part of Parker Avenue this summer was about the buyer of the handsome stucco house that had been vacant for more than two years.
Word on the street was the buyer was a literate and powerful New Yorker with global connections and staggering wealth. Sure enough, the buyer's current address, according to real estate records, turned out to be 1271 Avenue of the Americas, a Manhattan skyscraper.
Parker Avenue, meet your new neighbor: Time Inc., the legendary media colossus.
In a highly unusual decision for a news organization, Time has purchased a 95-year-old house in Detroit's historic West Village neighborhood, next to Indian Village. The home will serve as a base of operations for months -- and perhaps a couple of years -- as Time's various publications cast a unique spotlight on Detroit and chronicle its increasingly desperate struggle to reinvent itself.
A Time reporter has told acquaintances he will move in before the end of summer. People familiar with the project said news coverage would be provided by staffers from several of Time Inc.'s more than 100 magazines, which include Time, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, Money, People, Essence and Entertainment Weekly."

Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:24am on Friday, April 3rd, 2009 | The two major Detroit newspapers now have limited home delivery, as the Wall Street Journal noted on March 31, 2009:
"Under a new distribution model announced in December, Gannett Co.'s Free Press and MediaNews Group's News this week limited their home delivery to Thursday and Friday, while only the Free Press arrives Sunday.
On other days, the two papers will publish an abbreviated print paper sold only on the newsstand and a replica electronic edition available via the Internet.
On Monday, the two dailies marked the occasion by distributing about a half-million copies of the abbreviated papers free at 18,000 locations throughout Michigan."
