As a non-profit operation, the Twin Cities Daily Planet depends on contributions to keep spinning along, reporting the news you want to read. You can help to keep your Daily Planet spinning by becoming a member. Your generous support will help us provide the independent local news coverage you’ve come to expect from the Daily Planet.


Individual donations in the form of annual memberships are a way of making the Daily Planet financially sustainable. Your membership shows foundations and major donors that we have widespread community support. Like public radio and television, we need your support.

We also want your participation – as a registered user of the Daily Planet, as a subscriber to our daily e-mail headlines, as a contributor of news, opinions, photos, events, comments and tips.


The Twin Cities Daily Planet is conceived as an experiment in participatory journalism, built on a partnership between professional journalists and individual citizens. Collectively, the residents of the Twin Cities have far more expertise and insight than can be found in any one newsroom. The premise of the TC Daily Planet is that new technologies are making it possible for these citizens to become more active and powerful participants in the news production process. One goal of the Daily Planet is to harness that community intelligence and enable individuals to share information and work together for the common good.
