Grading Time Inc.’s ‘Assignment Detroit’

Time Inc. has descended onto Detroit either like a thunderstorm or as liberators, depending on who you talk to. There has been a blitz of blog posts, features stories, and videos from its self anointed "D Shack" portraying the Detroit they've seen so far.Videos include an interview with K-9 to Five's Liz Blondy, a piece on 85 cent hamburgers, asking Detroiters why they love and hate the city, and another piece about how Detroiters "survive."Stories have covered entrepreneurs, housing costs, Detroit's decline, and Ernie Harwell.So, what's your take? How would you grade their assignment so far? Is it the same ol' same ol'? Or is it something different?Let us know what you think about the Time blitz on our Facebook page here.Check out the Time Inc. coverage here.
