A new newspaper starts up in Carlton County

Cloquet residents have a new weekly newspaper: the Pine Knot News. On Friday, around 1,000 copies of the fourth issue will be delivered to subscribers and newsstands across Carlton County.

It may seem like a tough time to get into the newspaper business, but editor and co-owner Jana Peterson says in rural communities, it's a great time to start a new paper. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer checked in with Peterson for more.
