You've Got Questions, The Detroit Free Press Has Answers (But First, You Gotta Contact Them!)
Let's face it, navigating the vast media landscape can be trickier than parallel parking after a six-pack of Vernors. Fear not, intrepid news consumer! You've stumbled upon your one-stop guide to contacting the Detroit Free Press, the newspaper that's been keeping Motor City informed since Abraham Lincoln was wearing a stovepipe hat.
| How Do I Contact The Detroit Free Press |
Dial-a-Dude (or Dudette) with the News! (Customer Service)
For subscription woes, delivery dilemmas, or if you just need to gush about how much you love the comics (looking at you, Cathy!), then grab your phone and dial 1-800-395-3300. A friendly customer service rep will be there to, hopefully, not judge your questionable knowledge of 1980s comic strips.
But wait! There's more!
If you're more of a digital whiz than a phone phreak (yes, those terms are still cool, fight me), then you can chat online with a customer service representative. Just head over to the Detroit Free Press website, because who even uses a physical address anymore, right?
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
Reaching for the Stars (The Reporter Route)
So, you've got a hot news tip or maybe you just want to compliment Phoebe Wall Howard on her stellar reporting (seriously, that investigative piece on rogue squirrels was epic)? Here's the thing, my friend, contacting specific reporters can be a bit of a treasure hunt.
Unfortunately, the Detroit Free Press doesn't have a public directory of reporter emails. But fear not, intrepid journalist-communicator! Try a two-pronged approach:
- Social Media Sleuthing: Many Detroit Free Press reporters are active on Twitter. Send them a well-crafted DM (direct message) outlining your inquiry. Bonus points for a funny meme.
- Old School is Cool (Sometimes): If social media isn't your jam, you can always try sending a letter to the editor's office. Who knows, it might even get published! Just remember, patience is a virtue, especially with snail mail.
Important Note: Unless you're reporting a crime in progress, it's probably best to avoid showing up at the Detroit Free Press headquarters demanding to see Jim Brady. Trust me, they frown on that sort of thing.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
