Letter from the Publisher

Making a meaningful connection with our readers is our monthly challenge. We need to engage, entertain and excite this curious, demanding community of 200,000 readers. We are competing for their precious leisure time against a multitude of alternative interests.

Our measurement of success is the ability to capture, on average, an hour of their undivided attention every month. We reward our readers with stimulating coverage of travel, food, health, fashion and entertainment. Because these things, in their own special way, connect us to the place we call home. To our community. To our culture. To our social network.

Minnesota Monthly is the trusted voice for 200,000 thought leaders in the greater Twin Cities area. In fact, market research has shown that when it comes to affluence, education, and social engagement no other medium delivers an audience more influential than Minnesota Monthly.

We take exceptional pride in the publishing legacy we have established over the last four decades and the extraordinary readers who invite us into their homes every month.
