About Minnesota Today

Minnesota Today is a new hub for Minnesota news, arts and culture.

You’ll find the latest news from across the state and discover arts and cultural events. You can discuss issues important to you. And you can see what interesting Minnesotans are reading online.

Our goal is to highlight news, commentary, analysis and other good work produced in Minnesota every day. We aim to enlighten, engage, entertain and challenge you by hand-picking items you might not otherwise see. We hope you visit and explore the sites linked on Minnesota Today.

You'll see content produced by Minnesota Public Radio News, too. The Statewide Blog covers a broad swath of Minnesota news and culture. Insight Now lets you delve into pressing issues via online forums. Minnesota Sounds and the Audio Archive let you hear Minnesota culture in action.

Minnesota Today, a feature of Minnesota Public Radio MPRNewsQ, is funded in part through a grant from the Minnesota Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

About The “Recommend Links” Feature

Recommended Links is a place where notable Minnesotans share what they’re reading and enjoying online. You’ll find links to news stories, blog posts, videos, event listings and other items that interest Minnesotans.

How are participants selected?

Minnesota Today asked a diverse group of Minnesotans to share links. Look for items submitted by public officials, artists, bloggers, tech buffs, business leaders, industry experts and other engaged Minnesotans.

Does anyone screen the submissions?

An MPR editor reviews submitted links before they appear on Minnesota Today. We have told participants not to share items that relate to something in which they have a financial stake. Submissions must abide by the Minnesota Public Radio site Terms of Service.
