The Hub News Announces Closure at Year End
Dear Hub News Readers,
After 15 months of serving our community, The Hub News will be winding down operations and closing by the end of this year.
Why We Must Close
Despite the dedicated work of our amazing volunteer contributors and the support of readers like you, we have been unable to secure the funding necessary to sustain operations. After a successful initial fundraising round that helped us launch, we have struggled to raise funds since receiving our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in July.
Without sufficient funding, we cannot continue to provide the community journalism you deserve.
What We Accomplished Together
While we were not able to build a sustainable organization, we are proud of what The Hub News achieved. Our volunteer contributors produced over 300 pieces of quality local journalism that informed our community and made a real difference—particularly the 2024 election, city and school issues, Hockey Day Minnesota, new business openings, and scores of sporting events. We covered stories that mattered to you, and we did our best to fill a gap in local news coverage.
Thank You
To everyone who read, shared, and engaged with our stories over the past 15 months: thank you. Your readership meant everything to us, and we hope the information we provided was valuable to you and our community.
