“Valerie understands our business and what we expect to accomplish in Detroit,” Detroit Metro Times Publisher Chris Keating said today. “She has an excellent sense for stories that will move our readers, as well as experience with balancing print and digital content.

Under the previous ownership of Times-Shamrock, the free weekly lost readership and advertising revenue. But since Euclid Media Group took over, the Metro Times has roared back with hard-hitting investigative pieces and compelling stories. It also bolstered its online presence.

In February, Euclid hired investigative reporter Ryan Felton and plans to bring in more journalists.
