The Duluth News Tribune will host Always Local: A Discussion with the Duluth News Tribune on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Zeitgeist Zinema 2 in downtown Duluth.

The free program runs from 2 to 4 p.m., with doors opening at 1:30 p.m. at 222 E. Superior St.

The event will feature remarks from Bill Marcil Jr., followed by a panel discussion with News Tribune editorial staff and an audience Q&A. Attendees will have an opportunity to hear about the role of community journalism and share feedback on how the newspaper can better serve the region.

Free parking is available at the venue.

The News Tribune said the event's goal is to highlight the importance and impact of local news coverage.

“It isn’t a strategy,” the paper said in announcing the program. “It’s our story. While others report from a distance, we report from right down the street.”

Howie: Laura Lee the next television anchor voice of the Northland

You can sense Lee's broadcast discipline the moment the red light clicks on. Her voice carries polish without pretense, her cadence deliberate but not cold. She has that calm, centered presence that suggests she’s not there to perform — she’s there to communicate.

Howie: Darren Danielson, WDIO's statesman

That perfectionism has made WDIO what it is — the region’s dominant newscast for years running. Viewers know exactly what they’ll get: no chaos, no stunts, just clean, confident journalism. Danielson’s the face of that brand, but also its conscience.

Howie: Dan Hanger’s quiet reign over the Twin Ports airwaves

If you watch Hanger closely, you’ll notice he occasionally glances at the prompter with a smirk, like he’s reminding himself not to take any of it too seriously. That’s a healthy instinct in an industry where self-importance runs rampant.

This isn’t science fiction; it’s how rural medicine is already evolving. Duluth could simply be the first to turn it into curriculum — a digital rural residency, training doctors to serve wider geographies with smarter tools.

Howie: Policy from the North

If Washington has the humility to learn from Dr. Herman and Essentia's story, it might just rediscover what leadership in health care looks like — steady, patient, and powered by people who measure progress one healed life at a time.
