Corporate media and billionaire owners shape much of the news landscape. Meanwhile, disinformation and dwindling local coverage leave communities in the dark.
Planet Detroit is different. Readers, not shareholders, power us—delivering fact-based, independent reporting on climate, health, and the environment. No paywalls. No outside influence. Just journalism that puts you first.
If you value our work, please consider supporting our nonprofit newsroom. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference—and takes less than a minute. Thank you.

Stories that are eligible for republishing contain a republishing widget. If you’re interested in republishing one of our stories online or in print, we just have a few requirements:

Please follow this quick guide to add Custom HTML blocks to your article.
2. Add a canonical link.
To help preserve search integrity, please include this canonical tag in the HTML <head>

<link rel="canonical" href="https://planetdetroit.org/your-article-url-here" />
Replace the URL with the original link to the story on Planet Detroit.

If you wish to localize or adapt the article in a more substantial way, please reach out to us for approval before publishing.
6. Don’t sell our stories.
You may not sell ads specifically designed to appear in our stories. If your site has general ads that auto-populate, that’s fine.
