- Description: A map and menu of South Dakota media: newspapers, broadcasters, digital sites, podcasts, magazines and blogs.
- Author: Carson Walker
- Tags: Guides

Finding credible sources of news and information was a lot easier when most of us just read a daily and weekly newspaper, watched the local and network news and had our car's radio presets on favorite stations. 

With more sources than ever, it's easier to be overwhelmed.

Which is why South Dakota News Watch produced this **guide of the state's news and information sources**, many of which share News Watch stories with their own audiences. It includes this **interactive map** and a **drop-down menu** of where each media outlet is located or its service area, the platform(s) it's available on and website links. 

Send questions or suggested additions to [info@sdnewswatch.org](mailto:info@sdnewswatch.org). 

****Get free, fact-based South Dakota news and information** in a weekday email. No spam. Cancel any time.
