This week, public radio station
WDET 101.9 FM launched a special series, "Facing the Mortgage Crisis: Home Is More Than
Our House," that will air over the next seven weeks. Starting next week, Model D will also present a series of stories on the topic. The media partners will join together on June 24 for a Speaker Series that will delve into the subject matter from yet another angle.
Model D publisher Brian Boyle sees an opportunity for the local coverage to reveal individual neighborhood responses to the crisis. "In this market, with everything being so cheap, you don't have to wait for a program," he says. "Individuals are doing some of the more innovative things."
Listeners and readers will learn about volunteer opportunities and other ways to take action. WDET also will host a blog at
on its web site that will compile all information reported on-air.
Sign up for the Model D speaker series here, and follow WDET during its news programs like Detroit Today for more from the series.
