Mary Kramer, the publisher of Crain’s Detroit Business, said goodbye to readers on Monday.

Kramer writes, “Community immersion is the same mantra that Keith Crain set for me in 1989 when he hired me to succeed Peter Brown, the founding editor of Crain’s. I told Keith then that I aspired to be the editor or publisher of a community newspaper and help set a community agenda.

“His response: Then you’ll love this job because that’s what Crain’s is — a community paper but for a very specific community: people doing business in metro Detroit.
