On The Ground-Ypsi: Ypsilanti Pride At The Heritage and Parkridge Summer Festivals

89.1 WEMU has forged a new partnership with Concentrate Ann Arbor to highlight some of the positive things taking place in Ypsilanti. The sponsored news and feature series from SecondWave Media is called, "On the Ground Ypsi."  

This week, WEMU's David Fair talks with On the Ground-Ypsi project reporter Brianna Kelly and photographer Doug Coombe. Together, Brianna and Doug have put together a photo essay on Ypsilanti Pride. The On the Ground team attended both the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival and Parkridge Summer Festival to get a view of the city through the eyes of its residents.

Feature Article from Brianna Kelly and Doug Coombe

Nearly three-quarters of David Fair’s 20+ years in radio has been at WEMU. Since 1994, he has been on the air at 5am each weekday on 89.1 FM as the local host of NPR’s Morning Edition. Over the years, Fair has had the opportunity to interview nationally and internationally known politicians, activists and celebrities. But he feels the most important features and interviews have been with those who live and work here at home. He believes his professional passions and desires fit perfectly into WEMU’s commitment to serving a local audience.
