MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MINNESOTA
Divided between Twin Cities metro dailies and rural outstate weeklies, the North Star State features a consolidated media market built on nineteenth-century agricultural publishing roots. The landscape is dominated by the locally owned Star Tribune in Minneapolis, claiming the highest circulation in the Upper Midwest, alongside its historic rival, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, operated by Alden Global Capital. Further north, Forum Communications manages the Duluth News Tribune, a key daily for the Arrowhead region since 1868. Serving specific community needs, the Minneapolis-based Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder stands as the oldest continuing Black newspaper locally.
