Inforum is a regional news website that serves the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area, which is located in the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. The website was originally launched in 1891 as The Fargo Forum, a print newspaper, and has since evolved into a multi-platform news organization. In 2013, the publication rebranded as Inforum to better reflect its digital-first approach and expanded coverage of the broader region. Today, Inforum is owned by Forum Communications Company, a family-owned media conglomerate that operates several newspapers, television stations, and digital properties across the upper Midwest. The website covers a wide range of news and information relevant to the Fargo-Moorhead community, including local politics, business, sports, entertainment, and community events. While Inforum's primary focus is on the Fargo-Moorhead area, the website also provides some coverage of statewide and regional news that may be of interest to its readers. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Inforum is its deep roots in the local community. As one of the oldest continuously operating news sources in the Fargo-Moorhead region, Inforum has built a strong reputation and loyal readership over the course of its 130-year history. This long-standing connection to the community sets Inforum apart from many newer, digital-only news outlets that may not have the same level of local knowledge and engagement.
INFORUM is ranked 2,904 among other media sources and has an average of 2,762,000 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
