Closure of four northwest Minnesota newspapers feels like ‘a death in the family,’ said Dick Richards
In a corner of northwest Minnesota, four small-town newspapers are printing their final editions—and with them, a way of life quietly fades. For more than 50 years, the Leader Record, Grygla Eagle, Red Lake County Herald, and McIntosh Times chronicled births, board meetings, and everything in between.
