By: E&P Staff Days from its end as a printed daily newspaper, The Ann Arbor (Mich.) News announced that a sibling publication, The Ann Arbor Business News, ceased as a print publication with its final issue last Friday.
Business content will move to AnnArbor.com on Aug. 20, the paper said.
AnnArbor.com is the entity replacing the Ann Arbor News by the end of the month. It is a Web site that will publish a print product on Thursdays and Sundays.
Separately, the News announced that Steve Pepple, the paper's metro editor since 2004, has been named "print director" responsible for the twice-weekly papers.
"There still seems to be some uncertainty in the community about what these newspapers will look like and what information they'll include," the paper said on its Web site. "The Sunday newspaper will be a fairly traditional product in broadsheet with an A section that includes local news, an opinion page and obituaries. It also will have a Nation/World section, a Sports section and an Entertainment section.
"In addition, it will have Milestones, a classified section, comics and a TV book for those who request it. The Thursday paper will have a local news section, a Sports section and a Home & Food section. We're also bringing back the Spotlight entertainment section."
Pepple, 55, joined the News in 1997 as city editor in the Ypsilanti bureau and later moved to the Ann Arbor office as an assistant metro editor.
