In an area like ours, local news isn’t just important, it’s personal.


It’s the stories about our schools, our neighbors, our local government, and the moments that bring this community together. And right now, that kind of reporting needs our support more than ever.


Today is Minnesota Local News Day, and we are asking our readers to step up and help ensure that this community continues to have strong, independent local news.
The Exponent is partnering with the Minnesota News Media Institute to ensure that your gift today is tax-deductible


Newspapers like ours are facing real challenges, and we can’t do this work without the people we serve. If you’ve ever relied on us to stay informed, celebrate your community, or make sense of what’s happening around you, this is your moment to help.


Every gift makes a difference.

Be sure to dedicate your donation to The Exponent to help support YOUR local newspaper. 
 
Let’s come together to make sure local news in East Grand Forks stays strong.


With gratitude,
Rolly and Julie Bergman
The Exponent
