2014 Year End Report:
Positioning for a successful future
Together with the rest of the our staff and contributing
journalists, we have a great team of people creating
and displaying our content, serving our members and
advertising customers, and generating the revenue to
keep MinnPost publishing.
In 2014, MinnPost began positioning itself for the
future, hiring two new top leaders and embarking on a
major, multi-year initiative to increase membership.
A major component of our strategy for growth is to
build up our capability to attract and retain more
members. In 2014, the Knight Foundation awarded us
a two-year grant totaling $600,000 for this purpose.
For the last six months we have been working behind
the scenes, under the direction of our new publisher, to
conduct research about our readers and to build the
systems and tactics needed to attract more readers to
become members. In 2015, we will roll out an exciting
new program of benefits both for members at various
levels and for readers who become registered users.
At the same time, we saw solid growth in visits to our
site and in the number of members, gave our readers a
lot of outstanding journalism, were recognized by the
Online News Association as one of the top three small
online news enterprises in the country, and built up our
financial reserves to a more prudent level.
On the leadership front, Andrew Wallmeyer, a senior
associate at the strategic consulting firm McKinsey &
Co., became publisher in May. Wallmeyer oversees the
business side of MinnPost, including membership,
advertising and sponsorship. A native of Stillwater, he
is a former journalist who earned his MBA at the
University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.
Our reader research, by the way, showed a high level
of satisfaction with MinnPost’s content and user
experience among both members and non-members.
Even as future planning has proceeded, we set a new
record for annual donors, at 2,247, thanks in part to an
end-of-year campaign that exceeded our goal by 40%.
In June, Andrew Putz was named executive editor of
MinnPost, replacing Roger Buoen, who retired after
leading the newsroom through its first six and a half
years, but continues in a part-time editing role.
We continue to build our reader base as well. In 2014,
visits to MinnPost rose 6 percent, to more than 7.48
million. Page views rose a more modest 1 percent,
reflecting the growth of visits on smartphones, which
typically generate fewer pages per visit.
Putz joined MinnPost from Mpls.St.Paul Magazine,
where he was deputy editor. He also has served as
enterprise editor of the Philadelphia Daily News, and
top editor of Boston and Minnesota Monthly, and has
twice won the national Clarion Award for feature
writing. Like the other Andrew on our executive team,
he is from Stillwater.
One measure we follow closely is the number of times
per year that a MinnPost story, section front, topic or
data page gets read at least 5,000 or 10,000 times – an
indicator of our reach and impact. In 2014, 185 pages
were read at least 5,000 times – up 15 percent over
2013. And 54 of those pages were read at least 10,000
times – an increase of 42 percent.
Both Wallmeyer and Putz report to Joel, who remains
CEO and Editor. Laurie, the other co-founder of
MinnPost, continues to oversee major gifts and major
events including MinnRoast. Both Kramers have begun
modestly cutting back on MinnPost hours but not on
our commitment to its long-term success.
Advertising and sponsorship revenue, under Sally
Waterman’s leadership, finished the year even with
2013, but set a one-month sales record in December.
We are also excited about another emerging leader,
Bethany Hollenkamp, who joined MinnPost in January
2014 as office manager. Bethany expects to earn her
MBA from Carlson this year, and she has steadily been
taking on increasing responsibility in a range of areas
including finance and database management.
Our growth-capital campaign, launched in 2011,
surpassed its goal of $1 million.
Over the past two years, thanks largely to the success
of that campaign, we have built up our cash position to
just over $700,000, or about four months of expenses.
This is great news for an enterprise that, until 2013,
needed to borrow money every summer to stay afloat.
And we’re very pleased with two other recent hires:
Peter Callaghan joined us to cover local government in
1
In 2015, we expect to show a modest surplus on
revenues just under $2 million. Looking ahead to 2016,
when there will be no further payments from Knight
and very little from our growth-capital campaign, we
will need substantial growth in membership and other
operating revenue to continue to break even.
MinnPost continues to benefit from generous support
from other foundations including McKnight, Bush,
Allina/Robina, Joyce and others. Grants are listed on
page 5.

We are proud of the outstanding journalism we
published in 2014, which you can read about on pages
3 and 4. Thanks to designated donations from readers,
we were able to double the frequency of Artscape and
continue our Earth Journal and Mental Health and
Addiction beats. As mentioned above, the Online News
Association recognized MinnPost as one of the three
best online news sites in the nation among enterprises
with fewer than 50 staff members.
As always, we give heartfelt thanks to MinnPost’s
hard-working editors, technology and business staff,
journalists, advertisers, sponsors, Board of Directors,
Advisory Council, comment moderators and other
volunteers. Their names are listed throughout this
report. Supporters of our two major annual events,
MinnRoast and the Seventh Anniversary, are gratefully
acknowledged on pages 8 and 9.

Guide to the 2014 Year End Report
Last but not least, a word of special appreciation to the
2,247 member-donor households who supported
MinnPost financially in 2014. From Copy Boys and
Girls to Media Moguls and beyond, your names are
listed on pages 10 to 23.
Readers who support our independent, thoughtful
journalism as members are a diverse group, ranging
from those who have done so from the beginning to
those who took the plunge in 2014. If you’re not in this
group, we hope our new member benefits program will
bring you in. Watch for it, and please respond by
becoming a member for the first time, re-establishing
the habit if you’ve let it lapse, or stepping up your

courageous, independent Minnesota journalism a
sustainable reality, and your participation is central to
our continued success.

congressional races in Minnesota. While the election
loomed large, Devin also covered Washington policy
questions that were particularly important to
Minnesotans, everything from the Farm Bill to college
athlete labor unions and net neutrality.
Journalism Highlights of 2014
2014 didn’t initially seem like it would be a banner
year for news. It opened promising none of the bigticket drama that had marked the previous couple of
years. But it ended up being marked by a fascinating
array of issues, events and ideas in Minnesota, from the
implementation of a new medical marijuana law to the
resignation of Bernadeia Johnson, Minneapolis Public
Schools superintendent.
The mood around national politics also provided the
context for one of our most ambitious and wellreceived projects of the year. In the midst of the
handwringing over poor voter turnout for Minnesota’s
August primary, Eric Black wrote a multi-part series
examining voter participation in other democracies
around the world. Eric also broke several stories in
2014, the most notable of which came out of an
expansive interview with U.S. Senate candidate Mike
McFadden. In fact, Eric’s ability to pin down
McFadden on his policy positions was singled out by
the Columbia Journalism Review as an example of
how to get relentlessly on-message politicians to
actually answer questions.
MinnPost was there every step of the way, providing
invaluable insight and analysis of the region’s most
important stories, from our wall-to-wall coverage of
the legislature to a revealing narrative of how troubled
Supreme Court candidate Michelle MacDonald
managed to secure her party’s endorsement.
And yet, for all the big stories we covered in 2014, it’s
impossible to highlight our best journalism without
talking about the journalists who produced that work.
That’s particularly true in the case of our coverage of
local government in Minneapolis and St. Paul. This
year, we decided to invest in a full-time reporter to
deepen our commitment to the beat. So this summer,
we were fortunate enough to hire Peter Callaghan, a
veteran journalist from Washington State who had
previously worked for the Tacoma News Tribune and
the Associated Press. Peter quickly made his mark on
the beat with deeply reported pieces on Southwest
LRT, Minneapolis’ arcane alcohol rules, and – perhaps
most notably – an expansive look at the future of the
Metropolitan Council.
Beth Hawkins further established her Learning Curve
column as a must-read when it comes to education
policy in Minnesota. Beth was the first to reveal that a
nonprofit named CSI, which was affiliated with wellknown community activist Al Flowers, had received a
no-bid contract with Minneapolis Public Schools for
more than $375,000. And her insightful and candid
account of Bernadeia Johnson’s tenure as the head of
Minneapolis Public Schools defined the debate about
the challenges facing the district.
Likewise, MinnPost’s data team of Tom Nehil and
Alan Palazzolo continued to establish MinnPost as a
leader in data-driven storytelling. Collaborations with
MinnPost writers led to the first interactive edition of
The Stroll and a graphical show-and-tell of the way
campaign money flows in Minnesota. The data team
also led MinnPost’s entry into 2014’s Northern Spark
festival with Lacu, a visualization of Minnesota’s
13,000+ lakes. On a more pragmatic note, the data
team’s user interface on MinnPost’s election dashboard
won raves from both readers and other journalists as an
indispensable election-night resource.
When it came to state political coverage, Briana
Bierschbach – who spearheaded MinnPost’s coverage
of the 2014 legislative session and the 2014 elections –
served up a collection of scoops and insightful takes on
everything from the minimum wage to the GOP
takeover of the Minnesota House. Her reporting on the
ongoing problems with the Minnesota Sex Offender
Program – and the class-action lawsuit seeking to
reform it – has consistently broken news. Her work
with MinnPost’s data team on deconstructing the way
money from outside spending groups makes its way
into Minnesota races was a must-read for anyone who
wants to know how political campaigns work today.
MinnPost’s groundbreaking mental health and
addiction beat was the source of one of our most
compelling narratives of the year: Sarah T. Williams’
examination of the tragic demise of former state
legislator Steve Smith. After Sarah took a job with the
Star Tribune, we hired veteran Twin Cities journalist
Andy Steiner to take over the beat. Andy produced
some of MinnPost’s most widely read pieces of 2014,
such as her interview with KSTP-TV meteorologist
Ken Barlow and his public battle with bipolar disorder.
In Washington, an election year kept our D.C.
correspondent, Devin Henry, busy even before 2014
started. Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District race
between Rick Nolan and Stewart Mills attracted
national attention – and significant spending – as one
of the most competitive races in the country, and Devin
provided comprehensive coverage of this and other

Journalism Highlights, continued
teams. With the help of longtime staff and new hires,
the MinnPost newsroom is ready to tackle whatever
2015 presents.
In environmental news, Ron Meador covered a wide
range of local and national issues, including the
possible effects of plans by PolyMet and Twin Metals
for sulfide mining in the North Woods; a mystery
plague threatening white-nosed bats; causes and effects
of the honeybee die-off; and energy topics including
the environmental ramifications of ongoing Bakken oil
shipments across Minnesota and a proposed new oil
pipeline in the northern part of the state. His stories on
wolf policies – involving both wolf hunting and the
maintenance of wolves on Isle Royale – generated
interest throughout the year. In June, Ron wrote a
multipart series on his 93-mile kayaking trip on the St.
Croix and related environmental issues.

One of the most exciting developments for MinnPost
this year has been the continued expansion of our arts
coverage. At a time when many media outlets are
cutting back, MinnPost is doing the opposite. Thanks
to a successful fundraising campaign, we were able to
increase the frequency of Pamela Espeland’s Artscape
column to four times a week. We also added a new
local theater calendar (produced in partnership with the
Ivey Awards) that boasts the most comprehensive and
up-to-date performance information. All this on top of
Amy Goetzman’s coverage of the local books scene,
Andy Sturdevant’s The Stroll, and Jim Walsh’s music
and cultural coverage.

health experts and interpreted the latest medical and
health studies for her wildly popular Second Opinion
column. Susan was also part of MinnPost’s efforts to
take on a woefully under-covered topic: late-in-life
health care. This ambitious series of stories examined
challenges faced by patients in the last few years of life
as they deal with chronic illness in an uncoordinated
U.S. health-care system. Coverage looked at successes
and system weaknesses, touching on everything from
transportation quandaries to a lack of food access to the
challenges of moving into assisted living.

of 2014 without noting the retirements of two of
MinnPost’s founding editors: Executive Editor Roger
Buoen and News Editor Don Effenberger. Both Roger
and Don will be very hard acts to follow, and we are
grateful that Roger has agreed to stay on as MinnPost’s
special projects editor and Don has joined both the
comment moderation and MinnRoast songwriting

Financial Report
MinnPost recorded revenues of $2.04 million in 2014,
up 26% from 2013. This total included $651,000 in
membership donations and events, $427,000 in
sponsorship and advertising, $787,000 in foundation
grants, $169,000 in growth-capital campaign
donations, and $8,000 in other revenue.

Monica Little and Mark Abeln, Chris and Dan Mahai,
Eric Newman and Janice Gepner, Kay and Mike
O’Keefe and a Medtronic Philanthropy match.
Expenses for 2014 were $1.66 million, up 11% from
2013. The surplus for 2014 was $379,228, compared to
a 2013 surplus of $118,889. This was partly a matter of
timing: we received the first $300,000 payment on our
membership-building grant from Knight Foundation in
2014, and much of the spending will occur in 2015.
This is MinnPost’s fifth consecutive annual surplus.
Cash on hand at year-end was $722,000, our strongest
position since shortly after we launched in 2007.
