After nine full years dedicated to the site, MinnPost founders Joel and Laurie Kramer are officially handing over the reins today. The steadfast Minnesota-focused nonprofit, often named by observers of digital local news efforts alongside other success stories like The Texas Tribune and Voice of San Diego, has taken a cautious path to sustainability, through a mix of memberships, major donors, corporate sponsorships, advertising, and, to a lesser extent, foundation funding.
Andrew Wallmeyer will become the new CEO, and Andrew Putz is taking over as editor, a transition first announced last spring (both Andys joined MinnPost two-and-a-half years ago). MinnPost now also has seven full-time reporters, including a data journalist, and a stable of contract writers.
