Real-World Impacts

Legend
Real World Impact
Self reported impact on the communities the newsroom serves.

We broke the news that a local Whole Foods had a COVID-19 outbreak, putting staff & public at risk. We've dug into the forces as to why real estate prices are going so much higher in the city and region. We've interviewed candidates for Michigan Governor during election season. We *only* report stories in our Metro or directly touch it, so all of our podcast time of 15-20 minutes a day can be used for news and features in the community. Our features of local businesses and places to go are also quite popular, and often we amplify the work of others through smart conversations on the podcast.
