This is the one section of the Ann Arbor News that I looked forward to every year and kept out to read for a week. What a disappointment to now see it online. If I had not known several of these fine young people I would not have gone online to see this. Congratulations to all these young scholars. There are so many in this community who truly value your accomplishments.

Shame on the Ann Arbor News for not printing the Top Scholars academic achievement of Washtenaw County students in the Sunday paper. These highly achieving students deserve the same or more recognition as what the paper gives to student athletes. Their achievements, persistence and discipline should be acknowledged as an inspiration to other students in this area to reach higher. Apparently the Ann Arbor News believes it is more important to allocate print to inform the readers that "Most top college baseball coaches prefer aluminum bats to wood"; section B, page 6 in the News printed edition. With your editorial choices, it is not wonder that the Ann Arbor News circulation has been reduced to two days a week, and the online subscriptions are lower every year; not a prudent economical decision. I am glad I didn't renew my subscription.

So sad that a tradition of printing the top scholars each year is reduced to a mere online reference. I subscribed to this paper with the anticipation of seeing my daughter's achievements in print and now I must read online. Guess the police beat sells more papers then a section about good kids doing greats things. I won't be renewing.

Is there any way for us to buy the printed form of the newspaper? I would really like to have a hard copy of this article.

Disappointing. Last week, the deadline was missed due to "technical" problems. Today, no printed edition. Simple economics says more papers would sell if Top Scholars was published in print form. What is (who is) the problem? Can we expect this in the future?
