Thanks. Good question. I found this story in the Detroit News (detnews.com), which is owned by MediaNews, one of the largest newspaper companies in the US . I link to articles in my blog through the text.
I also link to each of the companies that I mention.
If you would like some specific information, don't hesitate to email pgabel@groupc.com .
