Gray Media

A new chapter is underway in Lansing!

This week, Gray Media, WILX News 10, and WSYM Fox 47 leaders joined community partners to celebrate the groundbreaking of a major renovation and expansion project that will create a modern, future-ready media center serving mid-Michigan for decades to come.

The expanded facility will bring together the operations of WILX News 10 and WSYM Fox 47, creating new opportunities for collaboration while strengthening our ability to deliver trusted local news, weather, sports, and community-focused content across broadcast, streaming, digital, and social platforms.

“This project is an investment in Lansing, and specifically the southside,” said Debbie
Petersmark, Vice President and General Manager of Gray Media Lansing. “We are proud to
continue to call this great city our home.”

Congratulations to the teams at WILX News 10 and WSYM Fox 47, and thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone possible.

One of our favorite traditions each year at IRE (Investigative Reporters & Editors) is "Gray Day."

This special gathering brings together investigative journalists from Gray Media newsrooms across the country to share ideas, discuss best practices, learn from one another, and strengthen the work they do on behalf of the communities they serve.

We are continually inspired by the dedication and passion of this team. Their commitment to uncovering important stories, holding those in power accountable and making a meaningful impact in local communities is inspiring.

Thank you to all of our investigative journalists. We are proud of the work you do every day and grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow together.

Gray Media today announced an enhanced political digital advertising solution powered by Aristotle, a trusted provider of political data and analytics. The offering integrates Aristotle's political and consumer data into Gray's Political 360 go-to-market strategy, empowering candidates, issues, and advocacy organizations to connect with the right constituents with greater precision across digital channels.

The new Political 360 strategy is designed to equip advertisers to move beyond broad demographic targeting and instead activate more precise voter audience segments aligned to campaign goals. The data-driven approach improves campaign efficiency across devices and platforms, reduces wasted impressions, and creates a meaningful differentiator for Gray.

"We're excited to bring this advanced capability to our stations and to the candidates and media buyers we serve," said Mike Braun, Gray’s Chief Digital Officer. "By combining Gray's local market strength and expertise with Aristotle's trusted, continuously updated voter intelligence, we can help campaigns engage their right voters at the right time with the right message."
