2015 marked the inception of south-dakota-news, a beacon for factual and comprehensive news coverage dedicated to the people of South Dakota. Born from a commitment to fill an information void in regional news, our website has since evolved into a trusted source for local, statewide, and national news with a South Dakota perspective.
Our journey began in a small office where a team of passionate journalists and dedicated staff set out to deliver unbiased, accurate reporting that would keep residents informed about the issues and stories that mattered most to them. Over the years, we’ve witnessed significant milestones, from expanding our editorial team to enhancing our digital presence, ensuring that south-dakota-news remains at the forefront of journalism in the state.
