ANN ARBOR – MLive Media Group announced on Wednesday that it will be implementing temporary pay cuts through the end of the year due to a significant loss of advertising revenue during the COVID-19 outbreak. In June, the company will reexamine if it will need to require employees to take an additional unpaid week off. Similar to other local news outlets across the country, MLive Media Group said it has suffered a steep decline in revenue during the pandemic. Formed in 2012, MLive Media Group owns MLive.com and operates newspapers in Ann Arbor, Bay City, Flint, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Muskegon and Saginaw. In response to the temporary measures, MLive launched a subscription program last week for its online readers to support its reporting.
