You can have your Lansing Journal Journeys photo published too
The Lansing Journal Journeys is an award-winning feature that showcases people displaying The Lansing Journal in creative locations.
We initiated the series because we are a community newspaper, and we like to see community faces in our pages and community names in our photo credits.
Although the feature was most popular with print issues of the Lansing Journal, since the Lansing Journal has not been in print since April, we have not received many submissions. Neither have many Lansing residents been traveling to distant locations. Our next print issue is coming out soon, however, so be sure to grab one and snap a photo in a “creative” location—it doesn’t have to be an exotic one! Additionally, printed papers are by no means a requirement. We’d love to see you reading your local news on your phone, tablet, or computer:
