Twin Cities Daily Planet
The Twin Cities Daily Planet, in operation from 2006 until 2019, was an independent website specializing in news events in the Minneapolis – Saint Paul metropolitan area. The "Twin Cities Daily Planet" was a community-edited news source. It published original reported news articles, articles republished from other local and ethnic media partners, and some content articles published by affiliated local and neighborhood blogs. The "Daily Planet" described itself as a purveyor of "hyperlocal journalism." The "Daily Planet" was profiled in the Columbia Journalism Review in 2011. In 2009, the "Daily Planet" won overall Minnesota honors as  the "best independent online news website" in the annual list of Page One honors bestowed by the Minnesota chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. In August and September 2015, the "Daily Planet" went through a massive restructuring in which almost all staff were laid off as part of the newspaper's conversion into a mouthpiece for issues journalism. Some members of the "Daily Planet" staff went on to found the "Twin Cities Arts Reader". As of July 2021, no new articles had been posted on the "Daily Planet's" website since 2019.
