The Brainerd Dispatch is a daily newspaper that has been around for over 130 years. Established just before Christmas in 1881, it has undergone many changes throughout the years, but its commitment to local journalism and the community has remained constant. A dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that the paper is available every morning in print, as an e-edition, through an app, or with extra content on their website. They cover news, weather, sports and provide videos, photos, podcasts and updates on social media. Their focus is on stories from central Minnesota that touch on neighbors, lakes, communities, challenges and opportunities. The success of the paper relies heavily on support from the community.
