WDET reporters focus on Highland Park in latest Crossing the Lines
WDET is starting a new series of Crossing the Lines reports Monday centering Highland Park. The small city of about 8,500 residents has made a good deal of U.S. history through the decades. It’s also seen hard financial times in recent years.
WDET journalists have been out in the community for weeks—and will be out there for several more—talking to residents about what they want the rest of metro Detroit to know about their city.
WDET news director Jerome Vaughn is leading Crossing The Lines – Highland Park. He says he decided to examine the city more deeply because of its central location.
“It’s a place a lot of people in metro Detroit travel through each and every day, but the majority don’t stop in Highland Park to shop or to get a bite to eat.”
Vaughn started researching the city, looking at census records, Highland Park history, and businesses, before heading out to tour the city over a number of weeks.
WDET will air stories on Highland Park through mid-May. If there’s something about the city you think we should know, drop us a line at news@wdet.org.
