Two veteran publishers say they plan to launch a newspaper in Detroit to fill a void left when the city's two major dailies reduced home delivery earlier this year.
Sixty-three-year-old Mark and 67-year-old Gary Stern said Tuesday they hope to publish within 60 days the first issue of a newspaper serving the Detroit area.
The Detroit Daily Press is expected to sell for 50 cents daily and $1 on Sundays.
The brothers previously published daily newspapers in Detroit in 1964 and 1967; in New York in 1978; and in Minneapolis in 1980 when workers at those cities' major newspapers went on strike.
