Would any fellow board members be up for helping get a Detroit News physical paper down to Tampa?
If anyone knows a way, or who to contact at DetNews, to order one and have it sent down here that would work too. Spent some time looking around the site and came up empty.
I've got my Detnews, Freep, A2 News papers from Jan 2 1998 and I'd love to add to them.

If nobody steps up, try your local swanky hotels. Some of them carry out of town newspapers.

Or, try the news stands at the airport or train station(s).

If a hotel in Tampa carried the Detroit News, would it be considered swanky?

Their help center mentions reprints. So maybe give them a call?

Yeah I hit them up last week. The reply I got was that they'd send me a print of the front page, not the actual paper (which makes sense bc the actual paper runs as part of a huge process). I'll order the print if I come up dry. I have a few Red Wings prints from the cup runs too, they're nice.

They usually sell the front page as a poster.

The Free Press has a much better cover today, in my opinion.
Does Ann Arbor still have a physical newspaper?
January 2nd, 2024 at 10:16 AM ^
Not actually sure anymore. Been 10 years since I moved.

It's part of MLive.

I’ll be traveling back to FL through DTW later today. If they have any copies I’ll grab a couple and we can figure it out from there
January 2nd, 2024 at 10:34 AM ^
Incredible, thank you
January 2nd, 2024 at 4:32 PM ^
Success! I was able to get a copy for you. What is a good way to contact?
January 2nd, 2024 at 9:49 PM ^
Thank you, that's huge! I setup a temp Google Voice number so I can post it publicly. Hit me with a text at [redacted, all set!] and we'll bounce to my cell.

First Pete Finebaum and now The Detroit News, lol. Congrats on getting your connect. Can I ask on how you plan on preserving your papers?
January 2nd, 2024 at 11:26 AM ^
My plan (for too long now) has been to get them framed behind uv glass, sometimes called conservation glass. I have a large stack of papers inside of an opaque container that I keep in climate controlled environments in the mean time. Just haven't had a home that would accommodate a bunch of framed papers yet.

Ha! Better than my Red Wings' papers that are sitting inside of a banker's box in my partially unfinished basement. Ooops.

Can't help as I'm in Georgia but thought you may want to take a look at em... credit to @GoBlueLexi117 on twitter

Here's a link to multiple of the front page covers from the DFP for the past few years in case you weren't aware of this site. I bought something a few years ago so I get emailed got Michigan stuff now

Huge thanks to @UMFanInFlorida for sending me a few Rose Bowl papers!
