About this grant
With many newspapers and other news outlets reducing their science and energy reporting, the public needs educational information on the changes taking place in the energy system. With prior Mott support, Fresh Energy, a Minnesota-based nonprofit and publisher of "Midwest Energy News", expanded its journalistic coverage of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation stories in Michigan. With continued support, "Midwest Energy News" will aim to generate a minimum of four pieces of original Michigan-focused reporting every month with the goal of making Michigan one of its top four states for readership.
