FROM A BUSINESS OWNER

The Messenger, Connector, and Monitor are an asset to our neighborhoods. These papers consistently produce quality journalism that highlight stories and people from our community that I would otherwise not hear about. It's a breath of fresh air at a time when so much news feels distant and out of touch with our day-to-day lives.”

The Longfellow Nokomis Messenger has expanded home delivery into the Standish neighborhood, and now covers all of the area served by the Standish-Ericsson neighborhood association.
The expanded territory adds 2,000 households between Cedar Ave. and Hiawatha Ave., 38th St. and 42nd St. This brings the total home delivery of the Messenger to 20,500 with an additional 1,500 in bulk drops at high-traffic local businesses. While other local papers have cut their home delivery and moved entirely to subscription or bulk stacks at local businesses, the Messenger continues to be delivered to the front steps of local homes.
"We're commited to reaching people at their home with news about their neighborhood, so we can all stay informed about the issues that affect us," said Messenger owner Tesha M. Christensen. "We hear from readers all the time about how much they appreciate reading stories about the people who live in their community."
She added, "Read a paper, pass it along, and then reuse it."
