Our fresh, new look showcases our renewed efforts to bring local forward - new front pages emphasize local news stories with a cleaner layout and easier to read font. We’ve focused on making your news easy to access with add-ons such as geographic labels indicating the location that is covered, so you can find the news from your neighborhood.

Our new Sports section design includes pages dedicated to local high school sports and hometown athletes. Weekday editions also feature a local sports column on the front page. As always you’ll find our great coverage of pro and college level sports in every edition.

We’ve worked to make our Entertainment section a planning tool – offering local activities and events and a renewed effort to list out local community and school board events also. The Thursday List highlights upcoming local happenings for your weekend planning. While The Sunday List features regional events to help you find fun things to do a little farther from home. Don’t miss Gonzo’s Top 5 list – John Gonzalez not only brings you the best of the state with his Michigan’s Best series, each week he also gathers the top 5 statewide events in one place.

Our 8 newspapers and MLive.com offer in-depth coverage of local community issues and investigative series; from your local athletes featured in our Game of the Week to finding the best of your nominations with Michigan’s Best to our award winning investigative series such as the recent Uneasy Riders.
