When I wrote The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus I spent a lot of time reading outside of major publications like the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune. In doing so, I discovered amazing journalists telling fascinating stories that deserved national attention but never quite made it beyond local or regional notice. Many of these stories stuck with me in a way that major national stories didn’t. They were deep and developed and told tales of struggling communities and the people within them amidst pandemic turmoil. They were filled with people from small local towns similar to where I grew up in rural northern Michigan.
