The Ann Arbor News has shrunk in size and depth and not as effective. Many of them blog now, I haven't taken the paper in years, except during MI football.

The real estate industry isn't closing their doors, they are just re-focusing their attention to where the buyers are going. Today, most people start their home search online, so why would you put wasted advertising dollars into something that people aren't using as a search source.
