Local Newspapers
I searched neighborhood newspapers for about 3 months before the show. At first I was looking at articles about what businesses were closing and what developements were coming in. The more I read the more I understood the importance of these papers to community building and community news. I strongly encourage all to find out you local neighborhood paper. Then read and interact with it. Send letters to the editor and post events through these papers.
Some of the Minneapolis rags I picked up were:
City Pages and the Pulse
The Wedge
The Bridge
The Watchdog
The Alley
The Messenger
The Downtown Journal
The Southwest Journal
The Liberator
One Nation
The Rake
Circle News
Southside Pride
Whittier Globe (Alliance)
Northeaster
The Observer
