Your ELi

Our first Open Office Hours went so well that we're doing it again - please join us at Black Cat Bistro on May 17!

The Lansing Area Community Trust has awarded ELi a $3600 grant to support our Summer Youth Journalism Program! Applications for the program are now being accepted from people in the 14-22 year age group.

As we come to the end of our third fiscal year, East Lansing now has what we think no other community in America does: a fully-functional, sustainable, nonpartisan, nonprofit, citizen-reported public news service.

The team at East Lansing Info (ELi) is looking to gather the next wave of community journalists from the greater East Lansing area for a two-week summer training program.

Starting Monday, March 6, ELi's Publisher Alice Dreger and Managing Editor Ann Nichols will hold monthly "Open Office Hours" for our readers from 7-9 p.m. at Black Cat Bistro.

ELi has achieved its sustainability campaign goal for 2017. We are refraining from exclamation points.

With tomorrow at midnight marking the deadline for ELi's sustainability campaign, an ELi donor has offered a match to help get us to the goal.

"The watchdog role of American journalism is in peril." Jim Detjen, MSU's Knight Professor of Journalism Emeritus, explains what this means to East Lansing.

How close are we? Our publisher shows you the tally.

We are getting closer, but there are only four days left in our sustainability campaign.

"ELi has brought so much good to East Lansing in terms of helping people stay informed and connected."

ELi has only a couple of weeks left to reach sustainability. If we don't reach our pledge goal, we'll need to end our public service of bringing you local, accurate, nonpartisan news.

ELi welcomes local high-speed internet provider LightSpeed as a corporate sponsor as we continue our push towards sustainability.
