Instant information on topics you care about
Local government meetings can stretch on for hours. Minutes allows you to keep tabs on the issues you care about, when you don’t have time for the full meeting.
Filling a need in local newsrooms
At least 1,800 communities in the U.S. no longer have a local news source. Minutes is making it easier for residents and journalists to stay informed through its continuously-growing dataset of transcripts for thousands of local government meetings
Our partners
Minutes was created by journalists at Michigan Public, and grown with the help of many partners working together to make local, civic information easier to find.
