The news about news is not good. Particularly at the local level, we see the decades-long decline accelerate with news organizations laying off staff or closing entirely.
Against that bleak backdrop, MinnPost has been a trailblazing success for local nonprofit news. Start-up news orgs look to us for guidance and ask how MinnPost has forged our path of growth and sustainability. There are two main ingredients I always share:
- Focus on community. The Minnesotans we serve are at the center of what we do. That means going beyond the 24/7 news cycle to deliver thoughtful, grounded journalism on the consequential issues and policies facing our state.
- Support from the community. Alongside funders and sponsors, members provide vital, sustainable support for MinnPost’s nonprofit newsroom and allow us to keep MinnPost paywall-free for our readers.
In a time of immense pressure on local news, we’re not retreating. To continue to find new ways to serve Minnesotans and serve as a model of nonprofit news to new outlets across the state and country, we need you in our corner.

The need for thoughtful journalism, especially at the local level, is high. Our team is ready to deliver, but we can’t do it without you. Join us in equipping all Minnesotans to be informed, active participants in shaping our state’s future with a monthly gift today.
With you behind us, MinnPost will continue to serve at the vanguard of the local nonprofit news across the country.
P.S. I sometimes worry that people don’t believe me that every donation matters, regardless of the amount. Believe me: it does. From $1 and up, each donation to our nonprofit newsroom makes a huge difference and allows us to serve Minnesotans across the state. Thanks in advance!
