I hear it from friends, and news outlets across the country are seeing it in the audience numbers: While most presidential election years increase attention to political news, this year (at least so far) people are taking a pass.
Look, I get it. With a political and media environment increasingly driven by outrage and clouded by misinformation, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and tune out.
That’s why MinnPost’s approach to news is different and important. Being a nonprofit allows us to focus on our mission: serving as a trusted guide for Minnesotans. And when it comes to this election, that means going beyond horse race election coverage and looking at what’s actually at stake and what numbers and information you need to be informed and equipped to be an active participant.
Key to making this coverage possible and providing it to all Minnesotans at no charge – MinnPost is a paywall-free outlet – is support from people just like you.
With donations of any amount, member support is the key ingredient to MinnPost and how we serve Minnesotans differently. Will you be a part of this work with a tax-deductible donation?
Our nonprofit newsroom has some of the most incredible, thoughtful journalists. But this team needs you behind them. Together, we can produce coverage that invites more people into shaping the future of Minnesota and the critical role independent journalism plays in the health of our communities.
P.S. I think, or at least I worry, that people don’t believe me that every donation matters, regardless of the amount. I’m here to tell you: 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 for being a part of this work!
