Company Info
Michigan Advance
The Michigan Advance is a hard-hitting, nonprofit news site covering politics and policy across the state. We feature in-depth stories, briefs and social media updates, as well as top-notch progressive commentary. The Advance is free of advertising and free to our readers. We wholeheartedly believe that journalists have the biggest impact by reporting close to home, explaining what's happening in our state and communities — and why. Michigan has hundreds fewer reporters than just a couple decades ago. The result is too many stories falling through the cracks. The Advance tells stories that other outlets don't. The people we write for are the heart of our work. We seek to connect what's going on in Michigan's Capitol to what's going on in people's lives. We talk to people whose problems are being ignored by our leaders. We also explore solutions, talking to those with innovative ideas for policy changes that improve the lives of the many, not just the few. The Advance is an affiliate of States Newsroom, the nation's largest state-focused nonprofit news organization, supported by grants and donations. The Advance retains editorial independence.
