Medow & Mayberry News Corp., the company that owns venerable The Hamtramck Citizen, is branching its business plan out into the web.
It recently retained two web developers after they redesigned and upgraded The Citizen's
web site. The 10-person company, which also owns the Farmington and Livonia gazettes, suspects it may continue hiring in the near future.
"We're expanding the company because being in the print business is extremely difficult at the moment," says Dan Medow, president and publisher of Medow & Mayberry News Corp.
He points out how the Christian Science Monitor recently announced it was ending its print edition and focusing on Internet publishing. News outlets, especially newspapers, have been investing more and more money into their web content in recent years. More and more Web sites, like Model D and its sister publications, are also appearing to produce web-only news.
The folks at The Citizen and the gazettes are also looking to help more people create a presence on the web. The company plans to offer Web site design, hosting and other Internet-related services.
