Eden Prairie Local News, Inc.

Eden Prairie Local News emerges as a compelling example of how hyperlocal journalism can rebuild trust and connection in communities where traditional news outlets have declined. As an independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan newsroom, it is widely regarded as a valuable civic resource, offering consistent, reliable coverage tailored to the everyday realities of Eden Prairie residents. Its reporting thoughtfully spans public affairs, education, business, culture, and social issues, reflecting a well-rounded understanding of what matters most to the community. What sets EPLN apart is its clear commitment to inclusivity and participation. By actively welcoming contributions from residents, local leaders, and organizations, it positions itself not just as a newsroom, but as a shared civic space. Its adherence to the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics reinforces its credibility, while its digital-first approach ensures accessibility in a rapidly changing media landscape.
