We’re highlighting our amazing lineup of guests at MinnPost Tonight on Oct. 21. Today: Chris Montana, founder of Du Nord Social Spirits

We believe that thoughtful, in-depth journalism is a public good and vital to the health of our community.

Throughout the pandemic, MinnPost has continued to be your source of essential Minnesota news, and not just on COVID-19.

A note from MinnPost News editor Tom Nehil.

When you read a MinnPost story that gives you a deeper understanding of an important civic issue facing Minnesota, you see the name of the talented writer who brought the article to life.

We’re excited to add Nancy Lyons, CEO of Clockwork and advocate for making work better, to the lineup for MinnPost Tonight. The event is set for Thursday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. CT. VIP packages and Pay What You Can tickets are available.

It takes a community to make MinnPost happen, and we believe the community is better for it.

Delivered each Friday, the newsletter will include links to each Artscape column from the week as well as some thoughts from columnist Pamela Espeland on the upcoming events and performances she’s most excited about.

Reporter Solomon Gustavo will break down the issues and take your questions on the upcoming Minneapolis city elections.

MinnPost Tonight: a LIVE virtual talk show with local cultural luminaries discussing their work and what it means to be a Minnesotan in 2021

We’re looking to fill two positions: managing editor and audience editor.

MinnPost is no longer providing daily updates on the state’s COVID-19 data. Instead, starting today we’ll provide weekly updates on the pandemic in Minnesota. 

MinnPost reporter Greta Kaul and Sahan Journal reporter Joey Peters will discuss the reporting on their recent pandemic project, what it’s been like covering COVID-19, and what they’re watching as the pandemic moves into a new phase.

Thank you for standing behind MinnPost’s local, independent news! Your generosity sustains our essential reporting all year round.

We still need to hear from 30 new or increased sustaining members by midnight tonight in order to unlock a $5,000 challenge grant for MinnPost.

If we reach 100 new or increased sustaining members by June 24, we unlock an additional $5,000 for MinnPost.

MinnPost is one of just two newsrooms in Minnesota that have a Washington correspondent — a reporter who lives in D.C. and is dedicated to combing through the news in Washington and distilling it into what really matters for Minnesotans.

Through automatic recurring donations, which are often at $5 to $15 a month, sustaining members provide a predictable and ongoing base of support for our thoughtful, in-depth reporting.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve seen just how vital thoughtful, in-depth reporting is to community. And so today we’re asking you to sustain the essential Minnesota news that bolsters your community.
