Jan Worth-Nelson former editor of the East Village Magazine, shares stories about the colorful history of the iconic Flint publication

The East Village Magazine started about the same time as Michael Moore's Flint Voice back in the 1970s. Today, the magazine has become a brilliant piece of journalism each month, covering hyper-local government meetings and thoughtful essays from some of Genesee County's best writers.

Jan Worth-Nelson is a retired University of Michigan-Flint English Professor whose experience in Flint has made her the most influential person on the local scene most political leaders have never heard of before.

She quietly assembled a talented group of writers and reporters at the East Village Magazine making it a publication of record for the Flint area.

She shares her joy about living in Flint, frustrations, disappointments, and what is possible for the region's future.
