On Hand

M.L. Elrick on local journalism and the state of newspapers

Listen Later

This summer, the Scripps Howard Fund gave Detroit Free Press reporter M.L. Elrick an award for his column “On Guard”, in which he publishes all manner of exposes, in the muckraking tradition. 

Back in 2009, Elrick and his colleague Jim Schaefer shared a Pulitzer prize for covering corruption in the administration of then-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. 

Elrick is also the creator of a student journalism project called Eye on Michigan at MSU.
