You may have noticed in the “flag,” above the MinnPost name on every page of our site today, this message: “Brought to you today by UCare.”

MinnPost has always offered sponsorship of specific news departments, such as UCare’s sponsorship of Second Opinion and The Minneapolis Foundation’s support of Community Sketchbook.  But starting now, we are making available a more prominent position as sponsor of the whole site.

UCare is the first to sign up, for which we are grateful.  And we hope that you, our readers, will be grateful, too, because this kind of generous support enables MinnPost to provide the high-quality news, analysis and commentary you have come to expect from us. (Membership donations from readers are equally critical.)

UCare will be sponsoring the site every Monday, and will continue to sponsor Second Opinion as well.

If you’re interested in discussing site sponsorship – either once a week for a full year or even by the day – please contact our director of advertising and sponsorship, Sally Waterman, at swaterman@minnpost.com.
