Longtime Detroit journalists Steve Neavling and Charlie LeDuff are teaming up to headline a fundraiser Friday night for Neavling's independent news site, Motor City Muckraker.

Muckraiser 2018 will take place at the Old Miami and feature a silent auction and live music from Young Grudges, Unsound, and Tony Paris & Sugarburn.


Young Grudges
LeDuff, the self-styled gonzo journalist, and Neavling, the controversial former Detroit Free Press reporter and founder of Motor City Muckraker, will discuss the state of the city and the state of journalism in the age of Trump.

Since leaving his radio gig at AM 910 earlier this year, Neavling has revived Motor City Muckraker, the award-winning site he founded in 2012, and aims to transform it into a nonprofit, adding more writers and reporters to expand his brand of independent Detroit journalism.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m., followed by a silent auction, including signed copies of LeDuff’s books.
Music starts at 9 p.m.
