About Us: Minneapolis
Our Journey
Minneapolis was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Minneapolis and its surrounding areas. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap we identified in the local media landscape. In a world where news is often rapid and superficial, we aimed to create a platform that delves deeper into the unique stories and issues that shape our community.
Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones. From covering the city's cultural festivals to breaking local politics news, Minneapolis has established itself as a trusted and go-to resource for accurate and unbiased reporting. We take pride in our comprehensive coverage of various topics, ensuring that our readers stay informed about everything from community events to in-depth investigations.

Filling the Information Gap
The internet has transformed how we consume news, but there was a noticeable lack of dedicated local news sources in Minneapolis. We recognized the need for a platform that provides in-depth analysis and covers stories beyond the mainstream headlines. Many national news outlets have limited their local reporting, leaving room for us to step in and provide a more personalized experience.
