Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under the byline “Staff.” The byline is often used when rewriting basic breaking news that comes from an official source and requires little or no reporting, such as a city press release about a road closure. The byline may also be used when a news story has multiple contributors or when the story is created by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. When we use outside sources, this is noted in the story.
Hello, I’m the Brainerd Dispatch. I started a few days before Christmas in 1881 and two years later we became a daily newspaper. We’ve seen a lot of changes over the years, but my commitment to our community and local journalism remains the same. My team is made up of dedicated people who work day and night to make sure I bring you the story every morning, whether it’s in print, our digital edition, our app, or additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports, videos, photos, podcasts, social media, and more, all covering stories about the neighborhoods, lakes, communities, challenges and opportunities of Central Minnesota. It’s all part of our efforts to connect and inform people. And we couldn’t do it without your support.
