Detroit Media Partnership Releases Handheld Applications for Detroit News

-- September 22, 2010 -- Detroit Media Partnership today announced the release of new applications for both the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press for use on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android mobile phones. These free apps give users the latest news, sports, business and entertainment headlines. Global Positioning System technology also provides users with localized weather and traffic updates based on their current location anywhere in the world.

"People consume news all day long and in different ways," said Susie Ellwood, CEO of Detroit Media Partnership. "We're proud to work on this exciting launch that puts Michigan's most trusted and relied upon news coverage right at users' fingertips."

The apps were developed in collaboration with DoApp Inc – currently, the largest provider of mobile news apps in the Apple App Store. DoApp's platform "Mobile Local News" is currently used by more than 200 television news stations, radio stations, and newspapers in more than 80 U.S. markets.

"Our goal is to deliver news and information to consumers when and how they want it. These apps are another example of our commitment to do that," Ellwood said.
