In today's newsletter, we have seven highlights from Gov. Whitmer's budget, a Michigan agency is behind a Super Bowl ad focused on Jesus and preventing LGBTQ discrimination in Michigan is one step closer to reality. |
Pop quiz! Let's have some fun with the news. |
I would make a bet that our loyal readers of the Morning Briefing are some of the most informed in the state when it comes to Michigan news. Now it's time to prove me right! Let's take a news quiz!
MLive's Vice President of Content John Hiner put together such a quiz for his weekly Letter From the Editor newsletter (subscribe here!), which can also be found every Thursday as a post on our site. You can find the quiz here and take it. Keep your guesses handy! The answers will appear right here in the Monday Morning Briefing. Or, if you are eager, you can find them in the Sunday print edition of our newspapers.
I even played along, jotting down what I think is a perfect score. But I do have a slight advantage, since I read the majority of our thousands of stories each month to find the essential content to share here with you. Good luck, fellow news enthusiasts! |

| What is 'He Gets Us?' A Michigan agency is behind a $20M Super Bowl ad for Jesus. |
Not your typical Super Bowl ad: You might see an ad for Jesus Christ during the Super Bowl. A Michigan creative agency is behind the multi-million dollar “He Gets Us” campaign that is airing two ads Sunday. But instead of advertising a product, the short black and white videos carry a Christian message. Bill McKendry, founder of Haven said: "It’s not a back to church campaign. But we do believe we are heightening the interest in Jesus, and obviously one of the outlets where people can go is a church." More on Super Bowl ads: Iowans watching the Super Bowl will be introduced to a new face from Michigan: businessman Perry Johnson. The former Republican gubernatorial candidate announced in a press release Thursday that he’s considering a run for U.S. president. |
