Local news matters, and it’s never been more important.

On April 30, Minnesota Local News Day, we’re joining newsrooms across the state in asking our communities to support the future of local news. This is a moment to come together and ensure that trusted, local reporting continues to serve Minnesotans for years to come.

At the The Exponent, our work is made possible by readers like you. Your support allows us to report on the stories that matter most, holding institutions accountable, highlighting community voices, and keeping you informed.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Make a contribution to support our newsroom 
  • Share why local news matters to you on social media
  • Encourage friends and neighbors to get involved
The donation site is open now. 

Be sure to dedicate your donation to The Exponent to help support YOUR local newspaper. 

Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting local news.

Sincerely,
Rollin and Julie Bergman
