Meetup and The Detroit Free Press invite you to find a local Meetup for what inspires you -- and become a Reliable Source for the newspaper!

Ever wanted to be called on by the local newspaper about stuff that you care about?

The Detroit Free Press is really excited to reach out to the Detroit community and tap Reliable Sources from area Meetups. And Meetup is excited to bring everyone together!

1. Find Your Meetup! If you aren't already a member of a Meetup, finding and joining one is easy. Click here for this week's schedule of Detroit-area Meetups. OR Start here:

2. Become a Freep Reliable Source! As a Reliable Source, DFP reporters will be able to call on you if/when they are working on a story about your Meetup topic. For example, a member of the Detroit Chess Meetup who is a Reliable Source can now be called on if/when the DFP is working on a story about Chess. Or perhaps you run an Animal Rights Meetup in the Detroit area and the newsroom is looking for a quote about Animal Rights -- you'll be on the short-list of people they can call. This is a great opportunity to raise the credibility and awareness of your Meetups and show off your expertise! To become a Detroit Free Press Reliable Source for your Meetup topic, let us know by emailing detroit@meetup.com. We'll reply with next steps. It's that easy.
