Editorial Content
The Review is the official magazine of the Michigan Municipal League, the state’s association of cities and villages. It has been published continuously since 1928; it is published six times per year and is available online. The Review is a forum for the exchange of ideas and opinions of local officials and information affecting municipal government.

Press Releases
We do not publish press releases related to company personnel changes, new clients/contracts, or new products. Press releases should relate to a company’s project work with a Michigan city or village, and should outline what other municipalities could learn or adapt.

Feature Articles
The Review relies on article contributions from consultants and local officials. Articles should be about municipal projects or told from the municipal perspective. Subtlety is the most effective way to give your firm’s expertise the credibility it deserves. Articles are not features about any company, and we ask that consultants not refer to their company directly. Article bylines in The Review are the author’s name and any credential initials. An author biography box appears at the end of each article and includes the author’s name, title, company, phone number and email address.
