Informative coverage & reportingMinnesota Star Tribune journalism is a cut above most newspapers. The app itself is designed well and easy to use, it’s highly useful for live reporting stories in instances of serious concern. Local stories covering Minnesotan issues is also appreciated by this Minnesotan.
Quality journalism and interesting coverageI’ve appreciated the Star Tribune in its many forms, and I can say the digital version continues to improve, and I enjoy it.

Essential PressThe StarTribune provides essential information in a time when junk “information” is everywhere. High quality journalism is needed and the StarTribune delivers.
