M Alums in Michigan media

Submitted by James Burrill Angell on

Got a question for an alumni related project I'm working on. I'm looking for Michigan grads in the media in SE Michigan, [articularly those in sports media.

I know of (1) Niyo at the Detroit News (2) Mark Snyder & Drew Sharp at the Freep (no comment). Who else is an M grad? Anyone in TV? I know Bernie Smilovitz's son writes for The Daily, is Bernie one of ours?

Ugh, I had to draw a goofy mustache in sharpie.  Now I need to get a new monitor first thing in the morning.  Also, when I scroll up and down, the mustache stays in place and looks silly.  Regret drinking tonight...

Does your definition of "media" include broadcasters? If so, there's obviously Jim Brandstatter.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Sam Webb attended U-M but "went pro" before graduating.

Here's an interesting tidbit that will make you appreciate unbiased reporting. Chengalis of the Detroit News is a die-hard OSU fan. You would never know judging by her writing though. I think she does a good job of being impartial and sometimes U-M slanted.
