  • Letter from the Editor: Need help with your online newspaper? Our new reader advocate has answers

    1 week ago | mlive.com | John Hiner

    In the last couple of months, I’ve introduced you to our enhanced online newspaper. I’ve explained some format changes, introduced new puzzles and comics, and made suggestions on how to get the most out of your subscription. That, in turn, has generated a lot of responses and specific questions from you about navigating those changes and finding certain features. You’ve offered suggestions on how we can improve, and we’ve been able to incorporate some into the daily product.

  • Letter from the Editor: Your subscription dollars at work - a year of award-winning MLive journalism

    2 weeks ago | mlive.com | John Hiner

    I often use this column to encourage you to subscribe, and to thank our subscribers for helping sustain journalism in your community and across the state. So, it gives me great pleasure at this time of year – awards season for the news industry – to report on the meaningful and impactful journalism your subscription has funded. What follows is less blowing our own horn as it is what I would call a “shareholders report.” Here are the dividends for your investment.

Pevos, MLive’s entertainment writer at large, will don his fedora, tie and press pass to work the floor and moderate panels this weekend at the Motor City Comic Con as the unassuming reporter alter-ego of the Man of Steel.

  • Letter from the Editor: From our hearts to our son’s - tough choices, lessons learned and endless gratitude

    1 month ago | mlive.com | John Hiner

    Three years ago this week I was the most grateful, relieved dad in the world. Not long before that I was the most frustrated and worried dad in the world. My adult son, Alex, needed open-heart surgery, something rare for people under 30. The consequences of not having this surgery were that his heart at some point was going to fail suddenly, finally. As a parent, that’s a shocking and upsetting thing to know. The problem was, Alex didn’t want surgery.

  • Letter from the Editor: With so much at stake in Schurr murder trial, access for the press is essential

    1 month ago | mlive.com | John Hiner

    An unusually high-profile trial has led to unusual reporting challenges for MLive’s news team at The Grand Rapids Press. The trial of Chistopher Schurr, a former Grand Rapids city police officer, is scheduled to begin Monday. Schurr is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Patrick Lyoya, who was shot by Schurr after a traffic stop in Grand Rapids on April 4, 2022.

I heard Magic Johnson and the new ownership group of the Washington Commanders may be looking for a new name. What would be more fitting than the Rushmores? https://t.co/kVJqXO9w0q
