Detroit Focus welcomes communications from researchers, civic journalists, public policy analysts, and members of the public. Whether you have questions regarding our regional economic analyses, seek permission for academic citations, or wish to report a statutory update, our editorial desk is accessible through the specialized channels below.

Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Policy

Detroit Focus is committed to rigorous accuracy and civic integrity. Because our policy dossiers frequently cite active legislation, Michigan Department of Treasury bulletins, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) administrative rules, and court precedents, our research workflow adheres to strict verification principles:

• Primary Source Grounding: We verify all legal claims against the official Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL), Public Acts, and published Michigan Court of Appeals or Supreme Court decisions.
• Prompt Corrections: When a factual error, obsolete dollar threshold, or updated statutory rate is identified, we promptly review the text and issue transparent editorial revisions.

Reporting a Correction or Statutory Change

If you identify a statutory threshold, administrative fee, or court rule that has changed following recent legislative action in Lansing, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Correction Request: [Article Title]". Please include:

1. The exact article URL on Detroit Focus;
2. The specific paragraph or data table containing the dated information;
3. A direct citation or official link to the revised Michigan Public Act, Treasury bulletin, or court ruling.

Our editorial researchers will review and update the live dossier within two business days.

Archival Research & Historic Publications

Detroit Focus preserves print archives and monographs stemming from our historic founding in 1978 as a visual arts and civic forum. If you are an academic scholar, museum curator, or regional historian seeking access to historical issues of Detroit Focus Quarterly (1978–1990s) or related cultural retrospectives, please contact our archival desk at [email protected].
