Media Business | How Media Covers Michigan's Economy

Tony Conley wraps up his sixteenth episode with a three-part conversation with Tom Gantert, Managing Editor of Michigan Capitol Confidential, a daily news site of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. When Gantert arrived at Capitol Confidential as Senior Capitol Correspondent in February 2010, he already had extensive experience as a journalist, having worked for more than 20 years at Michigan daily newspapers, including The Jackson Citizen Patriot, Lansing State Journal and Ann Arbor News. Gantert also served a four-month stint at USA Today as part of a Gannett Corporation loaner program. In 2008, Gantert was The Ann Arbor News writer of the year, and in September 2009, he founded Reporting Michigan, a nonprofit news Web site. Gantert holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Michigan State University. He has two sons and lives in Jackson, Mich. Tony welcomes Tom back for a third time, in order to review how media covers Michigan's economy, especially a recent article: Bloomberg: Michigan has the No. 1 US economy, has grown the most in its history. Data shows promising rebound in Michigan. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ Thank you to Benjamin Robinson and Motor City Skyline's music
