Ed Vielmetti's unenviable task

by Vickie Elmer

posted 8/2/2009

AnnArbor.com has far fewer journalists than its predecessor, the Ann Arbor News, but far more bloggers. Ed Vielmetti, the social media pioneer hired to wrangle the independent web publishers, expects the site to launch with forty or fifty and eventually expand to as many as 100. Early recruits include Lisa Leutheuser aka the Kitchen Chick; Patti Smith,

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
