Minnesota News Council
The Minnesota Press Council, founded in 1971, was created at the December 4, 1970 directors' meeting of the Minnesota Newspaper Association to mediate disputes between the public and the press. At the first meeting of the board (March 24, 1974) the council was organized to include 18,024 members, half of whom would come from the mass communications media and the other half from the public. The council consists of twelve media representatives and twelve individual citizens. Cameron Blodgett served as executive director from 1977 to 1984, succeeded by Thomas Patterson. In 1977 the name was changed to the Minnesota News Council to reflect the inclusion of the broadcast media. The council is the only such state organization in the country. A National News Council functioned from 1973 to 1984.
Historical information was taken from the collection.
