In advance of a national conference coming to Detroit this week to brainstorm ways to get better local news, I've come up with a five-question survey. It's part of my post-Channel 7 effort to...

You've made a lot of great points, BigB. Many are the reasons that thinking people have just turned off the local news here and elsewhere...I've never understood why the smart people who make and...

Whatever happened to Steve Wilson?

Here I am, still working hard in Detroit to start an independent, non-profit news team to uncover the kind of stories Channel 7 and other local media can or...

I've tried to point this out everytime I speak. Those two did most of the heavy lifting, IMHO, and I get far more credit than I deserve. Remember, it was those two who got the text messages and...

Well, well...why am I not surprised there's a disgruntled colleague in the [[broadcast) house who wants to take a snipe or two on my way out the door? Let's just leave it at this: Nobody knows Jack...

Thanks for all the kind words and support. Anyone with specific ideas on the best way to get The Michigan Center For Investigative Reporting up and running with local support, I'd love to hear from...

After nearly nine rewarding years as Chief Investigative Reporter, I am leaving Channel 7.

I am making this announcement here and now because I wanted you to hear it first directly from me. And...

I've never met Natalie but can say from experience that it is not necessary to lie to some people, often they jump to conclusions and blurt out information to reporters. Then, the...

I’ve found this thread very interesting. Let me make just a couple of comments.

I must say I'm a little relieved to see Free Press reporters having the same problems getting to the mayor and his minions, public officials who spend public money. I'm sort of happy to see it isn't...

John Bennett has just reported on his DETROIT UNCOVERED website that Mayor Bing has fired Police Chief James Barren, replacing him Monday with Sheriff Warren Evans.

Who knows anything about this?...

To be clear--and accurate: The candidate who had the courage to blow the whistle on this practice [[Karinda Washington) says statements Mildred is making about her now are not true. She says she never...

Nobody chased me away...I'm here regularly. Let me respond to Diver1369's point.

Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if whistle blowers everywhere would sit in a chair under the lights, look into the...

Because the mayor denied such a car was ever purchased. The issue at that time wasn't who was driving it, it was the fact the mayor had ordered the lease of another luxury vehicle at a time the city...

[quote=kraig;13742]How am I incorrect? quote]

How much clearer could it be? You have a public official--a city council member--collecting mroe than $80,000 a year to work on the city's problems...

Oh puh-leeeeze. First, I am not the police. I am not trying to build a prosecution, I'm producing a news report. Having watched the councilwoman and her aide Mr. Council on numerous occassions--did...

I know this is a biblical reference but now could somebody please tell me what in the world she actually MEANT by that???

I think I can assure you--and you'll have no doubt when you see the clip--she was NOT lipsyncing.
