Most of us are overwhelmed with the amount of information available, and it's one of the big reasons for distrust in some media outlets.
But we still need to be informed, and many of our readers and supporters appreciate that South Dakota News Watch publishes fewer in-depth stories instead of a lot of shorter ones. Here's how to find those stories.
Website
SDNewsWatch.org is where we publish all stories, photos, interactive graphics and other content. The home page also allows you to read the latest or by topic: agriculture, business, education, environment, family, health, Indigenous, justice, lifestyle, politics and rural.
Apple apps
For easier access on an Apple product, you can turn that web page into an application or home screen icon. Here's how to do it on a Mac computer or an iPhone or iPad.
Or simplify the view in the Safari browser, which also allows you to increase and change font sizes:
- Hide distractions when reading articles on iPhone
- Hide distractions when reading articles on iPad
- Hide distractions when reading articles in Safari on Mac
The best way to get our stories first and make sure you don't miss any is to sign up for our email newsletter that's sent most weekdays. It's a quick-read with a short summary and a link to the full story on the website. We will not misuse or sell your email, and you can unsubscribe any time.

Our handle is SDNewsWatch on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, Threads, Instagram and YouTube. On LinkedIn, it's south-dakota-news-watch. We're also on Nextdoor.

Media partners
South Dakota News Watch was founded with a mission to complement local news outlets. Besides our own platforms listed above, you can find a lot of our stories in print, online and on air at more than 100 media partner newspapers, television and radio stations and new media outlets that publish our stories for free.
