We blew away our all-time record for donations in 2019 thanks to readers who care about impactful, nonpartisan, factual Michigan news. Thank you to all those who trusted us with your time — and money.

Please support our work as we head into 2020 with a donation to Bridge. Our goal in 2019 was to be your eyes and ears on impactful legislation coming from Lansing, and our reporting on long-term subs serving as full-time teachers is informing Michigan lawmakers on how to solve this problem. There’ll be more big issues next year and your support is crucial.

Celebrate #GivingNewsDay by doubling your donation to Bridge.

Long-term subs have spiked in recent years. Paying more could help solve the issue –  and so could stopping ‘talking about teachers as if they’re idiots,’ according to a panel of experts convened by Bridge.

Bridge wants an ambitious, watchdog journalist who can break news and smartly explain the biggest environmental issues facing the state.

Bridge Magazine uncovered that up to 50,000 K-12 students in Michigan are being taught by long-term (often uncertified) substitute teachers. You can weigh in and hear experts talk about this troubling trend, and how to fix it.

Meet members of the news team and fellow readers at one of our reader gatherings. We’ll tackle water issues, long-term substitute teachers and football.

Bridge is expanding yet again, seeking an enterprising reporter to help launch the Michigan Business Watch to cover the state’s vibrant business community.
