Detroit Free Press: October
built 187 days ago
On July 13, 1995, Newspaper Guild-represented employees of the Free Press and News and the pressmen, printers and Teamsters working for the "Detroit Newspapers" distribution arm went on strike. By October, about forty percent of the editorial staffers crossed the picket line, including Mitch Albom, many trickled back over the next months and others stayed out for the two and a half years of the strike. The strike was resolved in court three years later, and the unions remain active at the paper, representing a majority of the employees under their jurisdiction.

In October of 2000, Riley joined the Detroit Free Press as a three-day-a-week columnist. She continued to find a national audience, now syndicated by the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain. Riley, a single mother of one, now found her daughter old enough to provide a constant source of column material as she began, for example, to hang back a few steps from her mother during a mall shopping trip. Parenting formed a common theme in Riley's Detroit columns, including those published in Life Lessons, her second book. A section of that book ... dealt with the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Though now employed as a freelancer, Stephen McGee, one of the videographers who worked on the project, began his career at the Free Press in 2005. Managing Editor for Digital Media Nancy Andrews, who was director of photography at the time, invited McGee to join the staff after learning of his skills as a video producer while at the Eddie Adams Workshop in 2005. A short time later, in October of 2005, McGee joined the Free Press as a photography intern, but quickly jumped in to help the staff with their early video efforts, teaching technique and video production to fellow photographers.
