On this week’s episode Publisher Michael Bushnell is at the Kansas City Museum in anticipation of the Northeast gem’s reopening on July 6. In January, the newly renovated museum closed after a catastrophic failure of the HVAC drainage system caused water to pour down from the attic, affecting every floor, though no artifacts were damaged. Chiluba Musonda, Deputy Director of Operations and Org. Development and Zac Laman, Operations Coordinator, explain the issue, and how they worked with their contractors and the City to ensure it will never happen again. During their closure, they worked on exhibits, tweaked their strategic plan, and scheduled exciting events for this summer.
For 26 years, Michael has been the Publisher of Kansas City’s Northeast News. His journey at Northeast News began when he became the President of the Scarritt Renaissance neighborhood, serving two terms totaling ten years.
In 1996, Michael left his corporate communications job to become the Executive Director of the Northeast Chamber of Commerce. During this time, he discovered the local community newspaper was for sale.
In 1998, Michael and his wife Christine bought The Northeast News, turning it into a community news source. In 2021, Michael transitioned the publication from for-profit to non-profit, securing its future and opening doors to grants and sponsorships for non-profit newsrooms.
Outside of community reporting, Michael and Chris enjoy traveling in their toy hauler with their Harley and News Dog, Ella the Destroyer.
Michael’s journey clearly depicts his dedication to the Historic Northeast community, ensuring that news stories are told with truth.
