Why Support the Minnesota Star Tribune?
We’ve rebooted our company as the Minnesota Star Tribune, with a vision to create the leading model for local news in America. See more in the video above, and in this profile in the New York Times.
With disinformation and disconnection eroding public trust, the need for professional, local news sources is greater than ever. At the same time, the market for local news faces unprecedented challenges, leaving many areas in a “media desert.”
Subscription and advertising revenue alone can’t provide the resources needed for professional local journalism, so many news outlets – including the Minnesota Star Tribune – are turning to community funding, as well, where donations from individuals, institutions and businesses help extend the reach and capabilities of local news organizations.

How Will Your Donation Make a Difference?
Minnesota needs trusted, in-depth public service journalism more than ever. The Star Tribune has a rich legacy and continuing commitment to hold powerful institutions and people accountable, making a difference in people’s lives and improving the quality of life for Minnesotans across the state.
Our reporting teams are broadening their coverage to encompass more of Minnesota – including rural areas and small towns across the state. And more journalists are based in communities around the state to better understand and reflect life in greater Minnesota.
Your funding can help us take on specific topics that matter most to your organization and our state. Vital areas including environment, transportation, social issues and education are essential to our coverage – and to Minnesotans’ lives.
