Coverage

Aside from its daily local content, which finds its strength in general news reporting and in-depth profile features, the Faribault Daily News contains many additional local publications such as a lifestyle magazine titled "Southern Minn Girlfriends." This is a magazine which is published every other month and claims on their homepage to "connect local women in a genuine way."[8]

History

Starting around 2014, the Daily News sports department endured a drastic turnover in staff due to a number of factors and cycled through roughly 10 combined editors/full-time reporters from 2014 to 2020. Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the FDN has been without a formal sports editor for more than four months as of May 17, 2020.

Former sports editor, Josh Berhow, who worked at the Daily News for three years in the mid-2010s, is currently the Senior Editor at Golf.com.

Ownership

Faribault Daily News is owned by Adams Publishing Group, based out of Northern Minnesota.[4]

Awards

In 2013, the sports journalists of the Faribault Daily News won three awards in the Minnesota AP Sports Awards competition.[9] The award was announced on July 14, 2014.[9]
