History
Starting around 2014, the Daily News sports department endured a drastic turnover in staff due to a number of factors and cycled through roughly 10 combined editors/full-time reporters from 2014 to 2020. Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the FDN has been without a formal sports editor for more than four months as of May 17, 2020.
Former sports editor, Josh Berhow, who worked at the Daily News for three years in the mid-2010s, is currently the Senior Editor at Golf.com.
Ownership
Faribault Daily News is owned by Adams Publishing Group, based out of Northern Minnesota.[4]
Awards
