COURIER Minnesota is new, but we’re already building the reporting capacity Minnesotans need for a consequential election year. Led by political correspondent Ashley Walker, our newsroom is covering the races, candidates, legislative decisions, and kitchen-table issues shaping life across the state—while connecting those local stories to what’s at stake in November.

What did Minnesota voters tell us in the primary? What concerns are driving people in communities across the state? And how do the results here fit into the wider picture in Michigan and Wisconsin, the other states that make up the Blue Wall?

Join COURIER Minnesota, The Gander, and UpNorthNews on August 19 at 1:00 p.m. ET / noon CT for a hyperlocal, virtual post-primary conversation with journalists and political experts who live and work in these states. This is not the conventional national-panel coverage you’ll find on cable news. It’s an opportunity to hear directly from reporters and analysts on the ground—people who understand the communities, the stakes, and the stories behind the results.

As COURIER Minnesota grows, we’re committed to expanding our ability to cover the issues that matter most to Minnesotans and to delivering that reporting where people actually get their information: on social media, in their inboxes, and online.
