The Morenci Advocate is a publication of Lenawee Independent Media LLC, a locally owned company that was founded in 2023 and also publishes The Lenawee Voice. We started the Voice in response to newsroom cuts made by the corporate owner of Lenawee County’s only daily newspaper.
We believe that, even in the digital age, a local newspaper is an essential part of building and maintaining a strong community. Both of our publications have four core goals:
- Promoting civic engagement and volunteerism.
- Increasing citizen involvement in government.
- Strengthening local businesses and institutions.
- Helping people feel more connected to their community.
The Advocate is published once a month in print, but updates to our website, morenciadvocate.com, are posted more often.
The editor and publisher of The Lenawee Voice and The Morenci Advocate is Deborah J. Comstock.
