From the Desk of the Publisher: 

What is Mid-Michigan? This is a question I think about all the time. It’s the Capital to Carson City, Olivet to Ithaca, Saranac to Howell and everywhere in between. It’s the Frandor snarl as much as it is the dead end dirt roads but in the Herald coverage we were missing pieces of our communities, I knew this and that always bothered me.  

Our mission has always been to bring people together. 

Over the years we’ve had a number of iterations of that mission – be it crude versions of the community pages, live sports broadcasts or to be at the forefront thru Covid. Wherever the community needed from us the most, I tried to put us there. Now the mission has evolved once again, one to truer grass roots. Our roots.  

I have spent the last couple of weeks recreating the Herald community pages, now 30 in total. The pages are a place to check in, catch up and engage in community stories, photos and videos. It will take a few weeks to fill them up. Will it continue to change? Probably. Is it something I’m proud to key trying to get right? Yes. Unequivocally yes.  

I want the Herald to be a place for engagement announcements, new births and obituaries. I want a place to put the homecoming pictures, tell you about Janie Jumpshot, Joey Fastball or the robotics team. I want a place to tell you why the road is closed, which new business is going in and what the elected leaders are up to. I wanted a place that felt familiar, is easy to navigate, and - by the decree of Mrs. The Lansing Herald - free. Always free.  

So what is Mid-Michigan? It’s all of us. What is the Lansing Herald? It’s Mid-Michigan
