In today's newsletter, we take a look back at the world of Michigan news in 2022 with top stories, videos and more. |
To round out 2022, we are sharing the stories that made an impact on you this year. |
This is the final Morning Briefing of 2022, so it seems appropriate to look back at the year in news. Below in today's newsletter, you will find an array of stories that spoke to MLive readers. Perhaps you will remember these stories as you scroll on.
When I think back on 2022, what comes to mind first is the heartbreaking story of Breanna Sharp. My colleague Gus Burns spent years trying to piece together what happened to the 13-year-old girl who was randomly found dead in a stairway months after she disappeared with seemingly no one looking for her. Gus allowed me to help tell Breanna's story this year in a four-part Michigan Crime Stories podcast. I will never forget his hard work to bring her story to light, and I will certainly never forget her name.
While it is a somber way to start this look back, this is the kind of impactful journalism that I know my MLive colleagues will continue to bring us in the new year. I'm honored to highlight their important work here each weekday in the Morning Briefing. |

Rotten times for tart cherries: Michigan grows more tart cherries than anywhere else in the country. But over the last several years, farmers have faced a host of challenges, from extreme weather to competition from imports and labor shortages. Watch the doc here.
Space World: In the late 1970s, a Detroit-area aeronautical engineer dreamed up an amusement park called Space World. He hoped to build it on what was then farmland in Ypsilanti Township. He eventually broke ground on the park in nearby Huron Township, but down-to-earth troubles like high interest rates scrubbed the project. Check out the full story here. Lovable Michigan:Our video team captured so many lovable moments in 2022. Visit this playlist to see a ton of positive Michigan content, from sledding at Sleeping Bear to drone footage of Tahquamenon Falls. |
