We also strongly believe that if there was something that was hard to be covered from an immigrant community perspective, we are the best ones to do it because we bring a lot of perspective that matters to the reader.

Right.

Like it is it is not.

So that actually, I wonder how difficult that is.

That's your North Star, but you're basically, you know, that's a pretty wide breadth of coverage.

So along the lines of like what you just said, it's also very, my dog just walked in, sorry.

So give me a specific, how does it, you know, when do you decide, hey, this community needs, we need a full-time reporter for this community?

There are a lot of parts about being an immigrant that needs to be celebrated, that needs to be looked at.

from a from a joyful perspective that oftentimes is missing in coverage and that's a piece that we that we also seek to highlight because it shows the whole the whole the whole picture of what it means to be an immigrant within in minnesota right so yeah we cover recover you can cover your restaurant openings but we cover the holidays that are being celebrated by these different communities

And that's part of our goal here, right?

We're trying to figure out how to solve how many of these problems can we solve individually?

And how many of these problems are we going to have to build a collective network for?

I mean, I know I have a vision of a collective network.

That can, where you get to keep your independence, but maybe there is ways to share some expenses, right?

right we just did a beautiful story about ramadan and also eid um i i have some i'm not going to share these stories but i have so many we have stories about the passing of a father of a monk father monk farmer father and how it was celebrated by the community that was you know monk but also uh also white in the suburb so i we we don't

And that's, you know, to make all of us a little more affordable.

we don't cover sports and that's, that's okay.

That's okay.

Yeah.

We covered quite a bit of arts.
