Duluthian Magazine's History

For more than 50 years, Duluthian Magazine has told the stories of the people, businesses, and ideas shaping life in the Twin Ports. What started as a local publication rooted in community pride has grown into a trusted voice for Duluth’s business and civic leaders, while never losing sight of the people who make this place what it is.

Our Purpose

Duluthian Magazine is built on a simple idea, local stories matter. We aim to inform, connect, and inspire by highlighting the people and organizations contributing to Duluth’s economy and quality of life. Our coverage focuses on business, leadership, innovation, community development, and the shared challenges and opportunities facing our region.

We believe strong communities are built through understanding, collaboration, and local pride, and storytelling plays a meaningful role in that process.

While our roots stretch back more than five decades, Duluthian Magazine continues to evolve. Today, we pair our long standing reputation with a modern approach to storytelling across print and digital platforms. The goal remains the same as it has always been, to provide meaningful, well told stories that reflect the real Duluth.
