Your ELi

Fresh off winning a Crystal Award partly for its engagement of area youth in local reporting, East Lansing Info (ELi) today begins accepting applications for its second annual Summer Youth Journalism Program. Applications for the two-week intensive educational program will be processed until the August program reaches its maximum capacity of eight students, ages 15 and up.

The people who bring East Lansing local news through ELi have been honored by the City with a 2018 Crystal Award. At last night's ceremony, four individuals were also honored for their work: Jeff Kusler, Christine Root, and Karen and Jerry Jennings.

Here's your monthly report of ELi's activities and expenses.

The Philadelphia-based Lenfest Institute has profiled ELi as a cutting-edge model for local journalism. ELi's Managing Editor Ann Nichols and Publisher Alice Dreger point you to the profile, and also wish you the best as ELi goes on Spring Break through April 8.

Particularly as we approach a likely August ballot with new tax proposals, we want to hear from you (anew) about what you want us to be trying to figure out and explain.

What did ELi bring in February and what did it cost? Here's your monthly report of this public service news operation.

ELi is excited to report that the East Lansing Responsible Hospitality Council (RHC) and a group of associated businesses have stepped up to provide funding for ELi’s Arts and Entertainment reporting for the next year!

ELi is pleased to announce that Crunchy’s, one of East Lansing’s favorite hangouts, has generously agreed to become a corporate sponsor of ELi’s weekly newsletter.

Where did the Sustainability Campaign end up, and what did we spend in January to bring you tons of nonprofit, nonpartisan news focused on East Lansing? We give you the numbers.

ELi's Managing Editor Ann Nichols gives you an inside look on what she managed this month for this community. Phew.

ELi is making a few changes, and some can't happen without you. We want your photos, and your help identifying community advisors. We also have a new way to get the news delivered to your inbox so you don't miss a thing!
