When you love something, you worry. Sometimes, you worry a lot.
But here's something encouraging in the journalism world. The Ann Arbor News (for which I interned in the Summer of 2000) is closing in July.
That's not the encouraging part.

Supposedly, there will be a social networking component, tons of interactive and multimedia factors and the (potentially vague) goal of building a news organization of, for and by the community.
At least they're trying something new. It doesn't launch until July, but you can read about their efforts here.
