The local independent newspaper The Dakota Scout is one of the proponents for Senate Bill 75. If passed, it would adjust South Dakota’s definition of a legal newspaper.

Jonathan Ellis, co-founder of The Dakota Scout, discusses the bill and what it would change for his publication, as well as smaller community newspapers.

Plus, we ask him what he’s heard from lawmakers about Gov. Kristi Noem’s joint session on Wednesday afternoon.
