Started in January 2023, we are a local news outlet that focuses on Aberdeen like nobody else.
We offer fresh, local news online every day at aberdeeninsider.com, as well as a weekly print edition that is mailed out to homes.
Founder Troy McQuillen is a local entrepreneur and business owner who has been an active community member for decades. His marketing support company, McQuillen Creative Group, also publishes Aberdeen Magazine, and The Watertown Current.
Our team of reporters bring with them experience, professionalism, and a love to share the news in their town.
We know the community, its issues and its people. We’re excited to be able to share those stories with you on a daily basis. We also print locally at Midstates Group.
How does Aberdeen Insider work?
Or subscribers can pay a yearly or monthly fee – depending on their subscription – and choose to read it online or in print.
Virtually all of our content is behind a paywall. You won’t be able to read, say, two free stories a week or five a month. We’ve got to pay the bills after all. However, if there is important news involving the safety of the community, we often make that content free as a public service.
The Aberdeen Insider is a DBA of McQuillen Creative Group, Inc. based in Aberdeen, SD.
How We Got Started
Our website went live on Jan. 25, 2023. The reason we started the Insider is simple. There had grown to be a dearth of local news coverage in Aberdeen. The idea of a publication like the Insider has been around for years, but it was time to make it a reality. We’ve heard the demand for more local news, and we have people you can trust to provide it.
That’s why we’re here, plain and simple.
