Super local

Cam's monthly column in Southside Pride
Wedge Live!: Irreverant and dogged hyperlocal coverage of Minneapolis. Your best bet is following on bluesky or subscribing to the podcast/YouTube.

Twin Cities & MN coverage

MN Reformer: strong, critical coverage of MN and Twin Cities politics
Sahan Journal: also strong coverage of local news, with a special depth of coverage around issues impacting immigrant communities.
