The Landing

The week, in your inbox, Friday morning.

Everything good that happened between Cass Lake and the Red River Valley, gathered up and sent to members once a week. No algorithm decides whether you see it. It just shows up, like a neighbor with bars.

What’s in it

  • One good thing. The best story of the week, and why it mattered.
  • Also this week. Everything else worth knowing, in a line each.
  • The Lake Report. Water, weather, ice, and what it’s doing right now.
  • This weekend. Concerts, tournaments, suppers, openings. Times and places.
  • One photo. Somebody’s fish, somebody’s band, somebody’s grandkids. Credited.
  • Tell us something good. Hit reply. It comes straight to the newsroom.

How to get it

$10 a year, The Landing included

A membership brings The Landing every Friday and opens everything else: the full archive, the Featured stories the day they run, and every back issue of the paper online.

Already a member? The Landing goes to the email on your account. Not seeing it on Friday, check your spam folder, then write subscriptions@minnesotanicenews.com.

The terms, plainly

  • Friday mornings. One email a week, and nothing else.
  • It comes with a membership. There is no separate newsletter-only plan.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your email address. Not to advertisers, not to sponsors, not to anybody.
  • Card payments go through Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
  • Unsubscribe from any email in one click. It stops the newsletter; it does not cancel your membership.

The full detail is in our Privacy Policy and the Subscription Agreement.

On the free list from before?

The Landing was free when you signed up, and it stays that way through Oct. 28, 2026. After that it goes to members. You’ll get an email from us before then with a link to join, and if you’d rather not, you don’t have to do a thing.

Want the paper instead? It’s free, the first Sunday of every month starting January 2027.
