It wasn’t long ago that we set out to completely reimagine how we could better serve our company’s new mission: to build a better Minnesota by connecting us with the people, ideas and stories that strengthen our communities.
How could our journalism more keenly focus on topics that are most relevant and useful to our readers?
How could we bring greater context and nuance to our stories?
How could we better reflect the diversity of life and thought throughout the state?
And, not least — how could we tap into the soul and spirit of Minnesota?
Focused coverage
Today, as we relaunch as the Minnesota Star Tribune, our newsroom has realigned around five core subject areas: news and politics, business, outdoors and the environment, food and culture, and sports. Many of these areas have been a staple of our news report for generations, but we are sharpening our focus on key topics, themes and issues within each of them. Our goal: break more news and provide readers with a compelling mix of accountability journalism, contextual beat reporting and stories of humanity and community.
News and Politics remain central to our public service mission, and we are deepening our commitment to bring you ambitious enterprise reporting on topics with broad statewide appeal.
