Curt Guyette started his career in journalism in 1983, covering high school sports for a small daily newspaper in Davis, Calif. After that, he moved to another small daily, covering cops and agriculture, local government and a U.S. Air Force base. His career took a left turn in 1990, when he hired on at an alternative newsweekly in Sacramento, where he began to learn the craft of long-form narrative journalism. Five years later, married with two young children, he came to Detroit for a job at the Metro Times, where he worked as an investigative reporter, columnist and news editor for 18 years. The topics of his stories varied widely, from exposes that pulled back the curtain on political machinations to tales of individual struggles against systemic abuse. Along with a deep-seated irreverence toward the powerful, his work has been shaped by compassion for the underdog, an unshakable belief in progressive politics, and a relentless desire to see justice – be it social, economic or environmental – served. Those values eventually led him to a job with the ACLU of Michigan, where he’s now an investigative reporter focused on writing about issues surrounding Michigan’s emergency manager law and open government.
