Local Community Has Important Opportunities To Consider Now, Following 2018 LPGA Volvik Championship, Looking To 2019

June 15, 2018
Virtually all coverage of the 2018 LPGA Volvik Championship shifted from process to results as the golf tournament approached its end with a May 27 birthday win by Minjee Lee of Perth Australia. The numbers nicely tell the story of final competition separating her from In-Kyung Kim and Moriya Jutanugarn on the final leaderboard.

In Politics And Journalism, “History” Begins Where The Presenting Party Says It Does (If Audiences Allow That)

July 27, 2018
It seems that Michigan was an important state for the presidential campaign of 1984. Or at least it was for the Democratic Party, whose nominee Walter Mondale made an appearance on the University of Michigan campus. Saline Journal parent company D² Enterprises covered it for a news outlet in Detroit which subsequently distributed photographs provided to interested papers throughout the United States. [1] Back then, journalism wasn’t open to just anyone. The Saline Reporter wouldn’t ....
