Stephen Cain
Stephen Cain

In this episode, AADL Talks To Stephen Cain. Stephen, now retired, was an award-winning investigative journalist for the Detroit News, Ypsilanti Press, and Ann Arbor News. His stories from his fascinating career in southeast Michigan include hair-raising undercover operations; exposing corruption in the newspaper, labor, and criminal justice system; reversing wrongful death row convictions, and inspiring sweeping changes in the health industry. Stephen also talks about some of the changes he's seen in Ann Arbor over the years and the loss of the city's original Ann Arbor News. Stephen’s recent book "Relentless: The Making of an Investigative Reporter,” is available in hardcover and softcover from Amazon.com, or locally at Schuler Books in Ann Arbor's Westgate Shopping Center. For a signed copy, e-mail the author at Cains1001@bellsouth.net.
