Lawson Media & Publishing, or LMP, is a local media company in Southern MN, an hour south of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) metro area and an hour west of the Rochester, MN metro area ("Med City" home of Mayo Clinic) in the Mankato area. Southern Minnesota stretches from Worthington, Windom, Jackson, Marshall, St. James, Madelia, Redwood Falls and Fairmont areas to Winona, Zumbrota, Albert Lea, Austin, Owatonna, Faribault, Northfield, Blue Earth and Redwing. There are countless rural, small town, small city and suburban communities in Minnesota. The Twin Cities represents nearly 4 million residents alone. Other communities range from hundreds or a few thousand up to tens of thousands or 100,000 or more residents in their market. Within this region, there are newspapers, magazines, television and radio broadcast stations, websites, directories, apps, shoppers, local visitor guides, billboards, indoor/outdoor advertising, electronic screens, computer and wireless networks, newsletters, events, journals, maps, organizations, YouTube channels, social media pages/groups, industry/trade publications, promoters, venues, ad agencies, creative groups, recording studios, art galleries, blockchain programmers, software developers and entertainment providers. Filmmakers are offered tax incentive to produce movies in our state as well.
Lawson Media & Publishing built its business on the convergence of tech and media and has its roots in community alignment. LMP operates in some distinctively decentralized ways. Silo media will simply have a difficult time scaling in the 21st century. Here are some examples of how LMP works within its own centralized system of organization to interact among a network of other professionals in a decentralized manner.
- Networking with professionals who provide freelance or B2B services and products useful to our customers and who receive services, referrals and projects
- Working in circles vs. pyramids - ecosystems are sustainable and profitable, while structural ladders have a top limit and fewer benefactors
- LMP provides services and manages the services others provide using resources where they are best allocated
- Open partnerships
- Community input, contributions, feedback and monetization
