One of my favorites is detroitblog. They manage to find human-interest stories about parts of Detroit most outsiders don’t see. The view of the city isn’t always pretty, but they manage to show the humanity of those involved. The articles are also carried in the Metro Times.

I bring this up because the Detroit News had a recent article on urban hunting. The thing is though, detroitblog did the same story months earlier.

The News story has some interesting new content, but you don’t get the background from the original. There’s no real history and “Little Mary” is missing. They took the real meat out of the story.

Maybe the local weeklies will start picking up readers as the dailies die off.
