Tony Conley is a newer content contributor and show host for Michigan Business Network. To wrap up his ninth episode, Tony has a three-segment conversation about the foundations that fund the news along with media and their persuasive ways across the country and in Michigan.

He rejoins Tom Gantert, Managing Editor of Michigan Capitol Confidential, a daily news site of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, for this follow-up conversation.

When Gantert arrived at Capitol Confidential as Senior Capitol Correspondent in February 2010, he already had extensive experience as a journalist, having worked for more than 20 years at Michigan daily newspapers, including The Jackson Citizen Patriot, Lansing State Journal, and Ann Arbor News. Gantert also served a four-month stint at USA Today as part of a Gannett Corporation loaner program. In 2008, Gantert was The Ann Arbor News writer of the year, and in September 2009, he founded Reporting Michigan, a nonprofit news Web site.

Gantert holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Michigan State University. He has two sons and lives in Jackson, Mich.

Their discussion picks up on the previous week's conversation going deeper into what Tom sees in media bias, along with how stories are covered (or aren't), and whether this trend will change.
