Good morning, Reformers.

We are an independent, nonprofit newsroom in Minnesota dedicated to unearthing stories other outlets can't or won't tell.

We are a small but mighty team of five full-time journalists with colleagues around the country in the States Newsroom network.

Follow us here for our latest stories and reach out with your story tips!

@mnreformer Is @_cingraham actually Chris Ingraham and will he be bringing his cricket stories to mastodon?
@slechta Yes, Chris is on our team now! We hope for the sake of his family that there are no more cricket stories!

Respectfully, you might want to learn about hash tags. This isn't Twiiter. 😊

@mnreformer Just a quick word of caution... "stories other outlets won't tell" is really cult-ish language that implies you have a monopoly on the "truth". It's a phrasology that's currently being exploited by far-right websites heavily laden with conspiracy theories and weaponized disinformation.
@mnreformer looking forward to getting your news here
@mnreformer welcome and make sure #MNastodon is in your hashtag list!

@mnreformer make sure to use hashtags! That's how folks here locate the news outlets (or really anything) they're looking to connect with on Mastodon.

#MinnesotaReformer is a good place to start! Also the #introduction is used a lot for, well, introducing yourself to the fediverse 😊. Happy to have you and welcome!

@mnreformer Welcome to the 🐘site.πŸ’
@mnreformer I live thousands of miles away from Minnesota, but at this moment you are next door. Bravo, and good luck!
