Description
Summary:	Under Wolman's leadership, Shepardson and The Detroit News' Washington bureau reporters won a prestigious Gerald Loeb Award in 2010 for their coverage of the 2009 federal bailout and bankruptcy reorganization of General Motors and Chrysler Group. Wolman managed The News during a period of continuous decline for Detroit's daily newspapers, which share business operations through a joint operating agreement but maintain separate newsrooms. MediaNews subsequently was bought by New York City-based hedge fund Alden Global Capital, but The News was left largely outside of its new owner's downsizing of its newspaper newsroom ranks because of the JOA with Gannett and because of collective bargaining agreements.
