What happens when someone's actually watching.
Planet Detroit is three reporters covering the environmental stories no one else will — no paywall, no corporate owner, no ads. This year, we exposed a decade-long fluoride cover-up in Wyandotte, were the only newsroom at the Zug Island air pollution trial, and broke the data center investigations that reached the Washington Post and the LA Times.
