...we subscribed to the Pioneer Press in my household, and I always liked the east metro/local news coverage there. After some awful endorsements in the early 2000s, I stopped paying attention to their editorial page. Nowadays I occasionally read the PiPress online, and I still love longtime columnist Ruben Rosario. From my more limited experience with the paper in the last 5-10 years, I can also say that local coverage from at least a couple of their younger reporters, Frederick Melo and Sarah Horner, has been really good.

That's sort of an aside, sorry. We subscribe to the Star Tribune at home now.

Support your local newspaper (whichever one it is)! That's all I really wanted to add on this topic.
