The Timberjay Newspapers is a small, independently owned group of three community newspapers serving Ely and surrounding small towns. In 2009, the Minnesota Newspaper Association judged the Ely Timberjay as Minnesota’s “Most Outstanding Weekly Newspaper,” and the paper and has been runner-up for that title in other years as well. The paper is a three-time winner of the Frank Premack Award for Outstanding Public Affairs Journalism, Minnesota’s most prestigious newspaper award.
