Traverse City newspaper to feature The North Woods Call

Other media have begun noticing The North Woods Call during the past few days.

Late last week, Mike VanBuren was interviewed by Robin Erb of the Detroit Free Press for a follow-up story to the tragic PBB contamination of Michigan during the 1970s -- mostly because Mike was editor of the Kalkaska paper during that dubious time period when thousands of contaminated animals were buried in Kalkaska County.

Today, Lorraine Anderson of the Traverse City Record-Eagle interviewed Mike for a feature story about The North Woods Call, which apparently will run on Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Check it out!
