I came across this article from the website of "The Detroit News" chronicling the dramatic changes in newspaper format that are on the horizon. Apparently, "The Detroit News" and "The Detroit Free Press" will be experimenting with e-reader editions throughout the year. In addition, free copies of yesterday's edition of "The Detroit News" were handed out at stores and on street corners in the city to garner public interest and awareness of their format and delivery changes. It will be interesting to see if the e-reader experiment will change the landscape of daily newspapers in Detroit, and if this will set a precedent for change in other national publications in the near future.
