Daily Detroit is powered by our members.

Thoughtful local media in today’s world requires listener and reader support, as well as from companies and organizations that “get it.” That it’s more than just the cheapest clicks, it’s about being part of something for the community.

As such, we believe that media funded by the community is more responsive to it.

Media funded by only large advertisers or by ads served with algorithms often needs to just be about clicks, funneled around the country for the most outrageous thing.

Media funded by the audience has the financial freedom to dive into and spend time on the topics that really connect with a local community.

Our members allow us keep this free for all to access with no paywall or metering. This is important in these days where so much quality content is, for financial reasons, behind a paywall.

So if we bring value to your day, consider joining us a member on Patreon and get some neat swag as well as member-only updates.

We have a number of tiers for the individual and for the business or organization that wants to get the word out there about what they’re doing.

We’ll read your name on the air and send you a sticker!
