...been drastically reduced. From a staff of 316 at the News in May 2008, AnnArbor.com has a full-time staff of approximately 60, about 35 of them "content creators" (reporters) - plus some 80 from the "preferred blogging community," the majority unpaid - according to AnnArbor.com president and CEO Matt Kraner.

Under this definition, a cooperative arrangement, of the type being talked about by the Senate Finance Committee, might fit the bill by providing an alternative to purely private insurance.
