Press: Detroit’s Creative Community
“I am pretty interested in learning more about Detroit, and want information to share with colleagues at work. I get a fair share about Detroit from mainstream media: but I want more in-depth, on the ground reporting from those in the trenches. Where do I go to learn more?”
Detroit is home to many micro and niche publications sharing relevant information about indie-businesses, new developments, underground events, individuals making a difference and investment. Here are some of our favorites. Most provide a weekly e-newsletter chock full of useful info. Others are great independent blogs covering a lot of interesting Detroit content.
