Staff update: Malachi’s next chapter

A journalist is leaving BridgeDetroit after four years and ten years total in the news industry to begin training with the Detroit Fire Department as a firefighter and EMT. The reporter reflects on journalism as an endless cycle of information gathering, comparing it to the myth of Sisyphus, and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to serve Detroit in a new capacity. While stepping away from daily reporting, the journalist hasn't ruled out returning to journalism in the future, viewing this career change as a way to understand the city from a different perspective.
