DETROIT'S BEST STEP FORWARD Detroit's RiverWalk Once a terribly neglected resource, Detroit's riverfront has been transformed into a true gem — we'd say a sapphire,.
Acclaimed city beat reporter Vickie Thomas announced on Thursday that she is retiring from Detroit s WWJ-AM (950).
Thomas posted on Twitter that she ll be leaving the station after 30 years, but listeners will still be able to hear my #BlackBusinessMinute each week. It s been an amazing ride working with the outstanding professionals at WWJ.the BEST news team around! I ve truly been blessed!!, she wrote.
Her last day on the air will be April 29.
Inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame in 2019, Thomas grew up in Highland Park and became interested in journalism as a student at Detroit s Henry Ford High School.
