In today's newsletter, men found guilty of leading plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, a Christmas movie filmed at historic Holly Hotel to hold world premiere in Michigan, and monarch butterflies are facing extinction, but Michigan could be a sanctuary. |
Breaking news gives journalists that rush. |
Listen, some of us hate to admit there’s slow news days. But when sources don’t return your calls, tips fall through, and the radar is all static, what’s a reporter to do with nothing to report? And then BAM - BREAKING: Men found guilty of leading plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer.
Everything else gets thrown off the desk. Social posts are made, newsletters are sent, and you remember why you do what you do in the first place. It’s glorious. Anyways, that was my day yesterday, how was yours?

What’s the difference between Michigan and Michigan State fans? Income, education and more |
Have you ever wondered? A survey of 6,426 sports fans was conducted and curious minds can now dig deep into the differences between Spartan and Wolverine fans in these categories: size, gender, education, and household income.
Even more numbers: Alabama’s Nick Saban jumped Kirby Smart for the highest paid in college football. More Nick Saban: Earlier this month we had a story where Nick Saban talked about his MSU years, when he was in a bar but didn’t know it was being robbed. Iconic.
