MLive Media Group announced Tuesday that Emily Lawler has joined the MLive Lansing team as the Capital business reporter.
A story on its website states, “Lawler comes to MLive from MIRS News, a subscription-based Lansing political newsletter, where she covered the state Senate. Previously she covered the Gov. Rick Snyder administration with the same publication.
“Lawler, 25, is a 2011 graduate of Michigan State University, where she double majored in journalism and public policy.
“She has covered issues such as the Right to Work protests in 2012, a statewide recruiting challenge for school superintendents and the recent introduction of taser devices to state prisons. In her new role, she will focus on statewide business issues such as the minimum wage ballot initiative and economic development efforts across the state.
“Lawler occasionally appears as a panelist on Tim Skubick’s ‘Off the Record.’ She also participated last year in a German-American Fulbright Commission program in Berlin.”
