Bridge Michigan is growing again, seeking a deputy editor to expand coverage and engagement in west Michigan.
The editor will help oversee coverage and accountability reporting of one of the state’s fastest-growing regions, work with media and community partners and grow Bridge’s popular west Michigan newsletter.
“We are committed to serving all of Michigan and have heard loud and clear from readers and community partners that they want more coverage of all parts of the state,” said Katy Locker, CEO of The Center for Michigan, the nonprofit publisher of Bridge and its sister publication, BridgeDetroit.
“We are grateful for generous supporters who allow us to grow at a time when others are shrinking, and accountability reporting is more important than ever.”
The editor will help coordinate the West Michigan Journalism Collaborative, a partnership of news organizations committed to strengthening public service journalism.
Bridge was founded in 2011 with two journalists. It now employs 21 and in recent years has added reporters to expand coverage of the outdoors, health and higher education, in addition to launching new newsletters, social media content and engagement events.

The expansion continues this year with the inaugural Bridge Michigan Issues Summit on Oct. 21 at the Marygrove Conservancy in Detroit.
The half-day, statewide convening will bring together residents, civic leaders, policymakers and subject-matter experts for in-depth, journalist-led conversations about the issues critical to Michigan’s future.
Registration is free and will open later this summer. Individuals can sign up now at bridgemi.com/bridge-listens-issues-summit for early access to registration and to receive announcements about speakers, program details and participation opportunities.
