Detroit: Freep said bunking at capital with Lansing

Cutting costs, the Detroit Free Press is closing its state capital bureau in Lansing, and the two reporters there will work from the Freep's sister paper, the Lansing State Journal, a reader says.

Meanwhile, Gannett's Observer and Eccentric staff in the Detroit suburb of Livonia will vacate their offices, and work from the Detroit Media Partnership's headquarters in Detroit, another reader says today. (The GCI-controlled partnership handles business affairs for the Freep and the former Gannett-owned Detroit News under a joint operating agency agreement.)

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
