About Us

MICHIGANNOW.ORG is a one-stop resource for news and information about how Michigan can succeed in the new economy. Beyond being a public radio news series, we showcase new thinking, new technology, new products, and new ideas that have the potential to be catalysts for Michigan’s recovery. MICHIGANNOW.ORG is also featured in online magazines promoting Michigan cities and metro areas, including Model D, Metromode, Concentrate, Capital Gains, and Rapid Growth. Chris McCarus created our public radio news series in 2005. A former Peace Corps volunteer and BBC reporter, McCarus has traveled the world getting the story. He is committed to covering news from around the state and the country that reflects ingenuity, vision, hard work, and perseverance, and that has the potential to put Michigan at the forefront of the nation’s economic recovery.
