About Outlier Media:

The decline of local news sources over the past two decades has had devastating effects on people’s access to quality, fact-based information. This has especially impacted communities of color often forgotten by long-standing media outliers.

The disinvestment in Detroit has left many residents underserved. Outlier is a nonprofit newsroom that places Detroiters at the center of the conversation, equipping them with information they need to create change and challenge misinformation and unchecked abuses of power in our city. Our mission is to center and respond to Detroiters’ needs. Our coverage includes housing, utilities, transportation, local government, arts and culture, community, and science.

Our original methods and tools find and address information gaps and systemic failures that create harm in our community. We are a model for others who believe that democratizing information and redistributing power is essential. For more information, visit www.outliermedia.org.
