What is the Duluth Community News Project?

The Duluth Community News project tells the stories of Duluth neighborhoods. It is produced by journalism students at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

The articles on this Web site are part of an ongoing, collaborative project exploring different communities and issues throughout the city of Duluth.

The work represents the opinions of individuals and not the University of Minnesota. For questions, contact John Hatcher, assistant professor of journalism, University of Minnesota Duluth.
