The New Economy Initiative (NEI) has enlisted New Michigan Media and Issue Media Group LLC to highlight the impact that Southeast Michigan\'s ethnic, minority and immigrant entrepreneurs have on the region\'s economic revitalization. During a press conference yesterday at the Detroit Regional Chamber\'s Mackinac Policy Conference, the NEI said it is putting a $100,000 grant behind the effort. New Michigan Media is a network of ethnic and minority media organizations across Michigan. It was organized in 2006 by Hayg Oshagan, a professor in Wayne State University\'s Department of Communication.
