MinnPost is joining the 200+ newsrooms across the country that have transitioned their digital operations to Newspack, a publishing platform aimed at supporting local news organizations in efforts to grow audiences and bring in more revenue from readers.
The transition for MinnPost happens Thursday afternoon, so we wanted to give readers a heads up that some things might look a little different on our site. Overall, we’re excited to explore the new tools and features we’ll have access to with Newspack, which we hope will further enhance the reader experience on MinnPost.com. We’ll let you know about some new features as we implement them over the coming months.
For now, here are a few things to know about MinnPost’s new site:
- The new site has been designed to look similar to the old site, and all story archives should still be available. If you find pages or features that don’t look quite right, flag them for us by sending a screenshot and email to feedback@minnpost.com.
- All of our stories are still paywall-free and will continue to be paywall-free!
- We will continue to publish most stories mid- to late-morning and send our daily newsletter out midday. On Thursday the daily newsletter will be delayed until the afternoon as we transition to the new system.
We’ll respond to any questions or comments about the new site sent to feedback@minnpost.com over the next couple of weeks. And, as always, thanks for reading MinnPost!
