Almanac has inspired me to:

TPT’s Almanac and Almanac at the Capitol played key roles in informing Minnesotans about the latest developments with the virus and the vaccine roll-out. Renowned epidemiologist Michael Osterholm and other key public health leaders appeared regularly on Almanac to provide updates and insights on the virus, the vaccines, and the new variants.

ONE GREATER MINNESOTA Almanac produced regular reports from across the state, exploring topics such as the movement for racial justice in rural communities; the impact of the drought on farmers; how communities statewide are navigating the pandemic; and much more.

“I rely on Almanac to present all sides to an issue in a non-partisan manner, which allows me to be more informed when discussing issues with others.” - Almanac Survey Respondent

2020 ELECTION In the months leading up to and following one of the most contentious elections in our nation’s history, Almanac produced steady, fact-based reporting for its statewide audience. Journalists reported on local and national campaigning in Minnesota; covered key state legislative races; and interviewed voters, candidates, experts, and political journalists about the most pressing issues in the election.
