Our Team
Liberty Star Tribune isn’t built by bots, churned by algorithms, or staffed by people chasing clicks in pajama pants. We’re a real crew of writers, editors, researchers, and thinkers who care deeply about one thing: getting the story right and making it worth your time.
We’re not here to impress elites or ride the latest outrage wave. We’re here to inform the public, serve the truth, and bring journalism back to something that feels a little more… human.
Built With Purpose
Our mission is simple but not small: deliver the kind of news and insights that help readers stay sharp, stay free, and stay in control of their lives. We don’t follow media trends. We follow the facts, the impact, and the threads most people overlook.
We take our responsibility seriously. Every story is approached with curiosity, skepticism, and an old-school belief that accuracy actually matters. Whether it’s breaking news, policy deep dives, or real-life guides to everyday challenges, our work is driven by a desire to leave readers better informed, not just more outraged.
How We Work
Our team is spread across the country, but we’re united by shared values and a work ethic that doesn’t quit. We collaborate daily to verify sources, sharpen headlines, and make sure every piece of content we publish clears the bar of quality we set for ourselves. When one of us misses something, someone else catches it. That’s the kind of newsroom we run.
We also believe that good journalism is a team sport. Writers aren’t off in a vacuum.
Editors aren’t hidden behind a curtain. We work in the open, ask each other hard questions, and push back when something feels off. That’s how we stay honest, by making sure the work can stand up to scrutiny inside our walls before it ever reaches yours.
Our Editorial Backbone
We hold ourselves to a strong editorial standard. That means no manufactured drama, no cherry-picked facts, and no playing favorites. We cite our sources, label our opinion pieces clearly, and issue corrections when needed.
Editorial independence is a core part of what we do. Nobody gets to pull our strings, not advertisers, not politicians, and not anyone with a checkbook or a platform. If a story’s worth covering, we cover it. If it’s not ready, we don’t rush it. And if something needs more digging, we keep going.
Stay in Touch
We’re not just talking at you, we’re in conversation with you. One of the best parts of this job is hearing from our readers. You’re sharp, informed, and not afraid to tell it like it is. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Got something on your mind? The best way to reach us is by replying to any email newsletter we send. It goes straight to our team, no middlemen required. We read every message. Some of our best ideas start that way.
So if you’ve got feedback, a question, or just want to say you’re with us, speak up. We’re listening.
