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.
Star Tribune: some of the coverage is pretty shallow, and the obnoxious national columnists in the opinion section are better avioded, but the Strib is worth reading for Susan Du's local journalism alone.
