Rapid Growth Media is a free weekly Solutions Journalism magazine serving the Greater Grand Rapids/West Michigan region.

Leveraging our sponsorship model, we create original content that seeks to showcase how local social innovators approach their work with thought-provoking reporting that demystifies and inspires readers to act independently.

With more than 16 years of reporting on our region's growth, we look forward to bringing more stories from our evolving community in the years ahead.

Our Local Team

Rapid Growth’s local leadership team is 60% BIPOC and 77/23% female and male ratio. Rapid Growth - an Issue Media Group company - has a core team that also presents numerous intersections passing through the LGBTQ+, disability, and other social determinant populations, including a healthy intergenerational lens (with ages spanning from 28 to 64), which we apply in the service of our story’s creation. Rapid Growth is BIPOC- and Queer-led.
