Founded as an independent, nonprofit news organization, MinnPost has earned a reputation as a trusted guide for Minnesotans navigating the most consequential civic, political, and cultural issues. With a mission to serve the public interest, MinnPost delivers in-depth reporting on city and state politics, Minnesota’s congressional delegation, health, the environment, and arts and culture—all free to the public through its website and newsletters. Its journalism is marked by integrity, adherence to the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics, and a commitment to transparency in funding and operations.
MinnPost’s reporting is amplified by community voices, commentary from residents, and open partnerships with other media, ensuring that diverse perspectives across Minnesota—including Native Nations—are represented and heard. The organization emphasizes solutions-oriented journalism, civic engagement, and accountability, while steadfastly avoiding political or commercial agendas.
Sustained by member donations, foundations, grants, and sponsors, MinnPost relies on community support to maintain its independent voice. Over time, it has become both a civic resource and a model for nonprofit, public-service journalism. Its work not only informs but empowers Minnesotans to understand, engage with, and influence the future of their communities.
