Craig Wilson is the editor of the Hill & Lake Press. He lives in Lowry Hill.
As the Hill & Lake Press approaches 50 years of continuous publication, we invite you to join us in celebrating a half-century of community journalism — and to help ensure we remain strong for decades to come.
Since 1976, the Hill & Lake Press has chronicled the stories, struggles and successes of our lakes-area neighborhoods. When I stepped in as editor in 2022, after longtime editor, the late Jean Deatrick, retired, my goal was simple: to help build community. That remains at the heart of our mission today.
This year, we launched a new website that now houses every article since March 2022, along with digital archives dating back to 2010. Our next goal is to make the entire paper — nearly 50 years of local history — freely accessible online. To do that, we need your help. Your tax-deductible gift will support ongoing digitization, website improvements and volunteer efforts to bring our archives to life.
In December 2024 and again in 2025, we’ll be providing free ad space to support small businesses that have been affected by the Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street construction projects.
The Hill & Lake Press covers news “where the biggies leave off” — a space for local voices, civic dialogue and neighborhood pride. With your support, we can keep amplifying those voices for another 50 years.
Please consider a year-end donation to sustain independent community journalism. Visit hillandlakepress.org to contribute. The Hill & Lake Press is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all contributions are charitable and tax-deductible.
