The Michigan Area Reporter is the official newspaper of the Detroit and West Michigan Conferences.

 

The Michigan Area Reporter, an edition of the United Methodist Reporter (www.umportal.org), will publish monthly. Section A of the publication will feature news and features from the Michigan Area, while Section B and additional supplements of the publication will highlight news from the denomination and the faith community around the world. 

 

The Michigan Area Reporter is under the direction of the Michigan Area Communications Task Force, which features representation from the Detroit and West Michigan Conference as well as the office of Bishop Jonathan D. Keaton. RJ Walters, former sports editor of the Hillsdale Daily News, is the editor of the newspaper.

The cost annually for 10 copies is $32.00, $92.00 for 25 copies, and $150.00 for 50 copies. Churches must prepay for this option.
