Sahan Journal

We are Sahan Journal. We publish journalism for Minnesota’s immigrants and communities of color. And we can’t do it without you.

Sahan Journal is a nonprofit digital newsroom dedicated to reporting for immigrants and communities of color in Minnesota. In the four years since our founding, we have become a groundbreaking source of news coverage for communities who rarely see themselves in mainstream media.

We’re here to change the narrative of Minnesota’s news landscape. We do this by employing diverse staff and publishing exceptional journalism: coverage that truly represents the changing face of Minnesota and recognizes that democratic engagement and power belongs to everyone.

In 2023, Sahan Journal has continued to produce impactful stories that reverberate in communities of color and beyond. Our reporting played a pivotal role in reversing a vote that threatened an affordable housing project, catalyzed a national investigation into contracts for deed, and kept Minnesotans informed on Election Day. We also launched two community newsletters, and kickstarted a flagship conversation series designed to get direct feedback from the communities we serve. It’s been a powerhouse year, but we’re nowhere close to done.
