Overwhelming Demand for Electronic Editions of Detroit Free Press and The
Detroit News Cause Some Delays

DETROIT, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Users of the electronic editions, exact
copies of today's printed Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News, are
temporarily experiencing longer wait times for information to load. This
delay is being caused by higher than anticipated demand during this peak time.
The Detroit Media Partnership is working with its vendor, Tecnavia, to
rectify this situation and broaden digital capacity.
