What is Star Publications?
Star Publications is a local newspaper publisher based in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, operating out of 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave. Its site lists several publications under one roof: the Benton County Herald, Country Acres Dairy Star, Sauk Centre Herald, Star Shopper, and The Star Post. It also includes design services and a shop, so it functions as both a news publisher and a small media services business for its region.
What that means in practice
- For local readers: It is a source for community news through titles like the Sauk Centre Herald and Benton County Herald, with subscription access available.
- For advertisers and businesses: The mix of newspapers and the Star Shopper suggests print advertising options across several local audiences.
- For people needing design work: The "Sign Design" menu item points to graphic or signage services alongside publishing.
- For agriculture-focused readers: Country Acres Dairy Star appears aimed at dairy and farming coverage, a distinct audience from the general community papers.
A useful next step
If you want local news, start with the Sauk Centre Herald or Benton County Herald. If you are a business looking to reach area customers, ask about advertising in the Star Shopper or one of the community papers. If you need signs or design, check the Sign Design section directly. For statewide context, Minnesota.gov is the official state portal.
How do I subscribe to Star Publications newspapers?
Star Publications lists a single subscription route across its newspaper group: a "Subscribe today" link that points to the Dairy Star subscription page at Dairy Star. That page is where you would start an online subscription order.
Titles under the Star Publications umbrella
The site names these publications, so it is worth knowing which one you actually want before you begin:
- Benton County Herald
- Country Acres
- Dairy Star
- Sauk Centre Herald
- The Star Post
- Star Shopper
If you would rather talk to a person
The publisher's office is listed as 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave., Sauk Centre, MN 56378, phone 320-352-6577, open Monday–Friday 8:00am–5:00pm and closed weekends. A reader who wants a print subscription, a renewal, or a delivery question answered directly can call during those hours rather than completing an online form.
Choosing between online and phone
| Situation | Better first step |
|---|---|
| New subscription, comfortable paying online | The subscribe link on the site |
| Renewal, address change, or missing delivery | Call the office |
| Unsure which of the six titles covers your area | Call and ask before subscribing |
| Buying a gift subscription | Call, so you can confirm the recipient's town |
A practical next step
Decide which publication matches your town or interest first — for example, Sauk Centre Herald or Benton County Herald for local news, Country Acres or Dairy Star for agricultural coverage. Then use the subscribe link for that title, or call the office if the correct option is not obvious.
What newspapers and publications does Star Publications offer?
Star Publications lists five titles under "Our Publications": the Benton County Herald, Country Acres Dairy Star, Sauk Centre Herald, Star Shopper, and The Star Post. The site also describes itself as the "Proud publisher of:" those titles, so this is the company's own roster rather than a newsstand inventory.
What each title suggests
| Publication | Likely role |
|---|---|
| Benton County Herald | Local community news for the Benton County area |
| Country Acres Dairy Star | Dairy and agricultural coverage |
| Sauk Centre Herald | Local news for Sauk Centre, Minnesota |
| Star Shopper | Advertising circular or shopper format |
| The Star Post | General news publication |
The mix matters if you are deciding where to place an ad or find coverage. The Sauk Centre Herald and Benton County Herald suit readers who want town-level news and public notices. Country Acres Dairy Star serves a farming and dairy audience, so its readers are more likely to care about agricultural markets, herd management and rural issues than about city council minutes. Star Shopper and The Star Post appear positioned differently again — one toward deals and local advertising, the other toward general news.
Reaching the publisher
Star Publications is based at 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave., Sauk Centre, MN 56378, with phone hours Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and closed on weekends. The site points visitors to a subscribe option for at least one title, so if you want a specific paper, check whether that title has its own subscription page or whether the publisher handles it centrally.
A practical next step: phone 320-352-6577 and ask which of the five titles covers your town, whether it publishes weekly or daily, and what the deadline is for submitting news or advertising. That single call will tell you more than the publication list alone.

Star Publications publishes several local titles, including the Benton County Herald, Country Acres Dairy Star, Sauk Centre Herald, Star Shopper, and The Star Post. If your question concerns a specific paper, mention which one when you call so you're routed correctly.
What local news coverage does the Sauk Centre Herald provide?
The Sauk Centre Herald is the community newspaper in Star Publications' local portfolio. Based on the site's own listing, it sits alongside the Benton County Herald, Country Acres Dairy Star, Star Shopper and The Star Post — so it functions as one title in a group serving Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and the surrounding area rather than a single statewide or national outlet Star Publications. Expect the kind of coverage a small-town weekly or community paper typically carries: local government and school board meetings, area sports, community events, obituaries, letters, and features on local people and businesses. That is the general pattern for papers of this type; the site itself does not itemize the Herald's specific sections or beats.
Who it suits
- Residents of Sauk Centre and nearby towns who want reporting on decisions, events and people close to home.
- Local organizations, schools and businesses that rely on the paper for announcements, coverage or advertising.
- Former residents and family members who follow hometown news from elsewhere.
- Readers who want a single local source rather than aggregated regional or national news.
How to get it
The site points readers to a subscription link for access, and lists a physical office at 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave., Sauk Centre, MN 56378, open Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm, phone 320-352-6577 Star Publications. If you want news specifically about Sauk Centre, start with the Herald; if your interest is broader county or regional coverage, the sibling titles in the same group are the better fit.
For a practical check on whether it covers what you need, look at the most recent issue's front page and sports section — that quickly shows whether school, city and local-sports reporting matches your interests before you commit to a subscription.
How can I advertise or submit a news tip to Star Publications?
For advertising or news tips at Star Publications, the site itself only gives contact and subscription paths, not a dedicated advertising or tip form. Use the published contact details:
- Phone: 320-352-6577 (Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm)
- Address: 522 Sinclair Lewis Ave., Sauk Centre, MN 56378
- Subscription link: Star Publications lists a "Click here to subscribe" link for its papers
For advertising
Call during business hours and ask for the advertising department, then specify which publication you want: Benton County Herald, Country Acres Dairy Star, Sauk Centre Herald, The Star Post, or the Star Shopper. Rates, deadlines and print/digital options are not published on the homepage, so the phone call is the practical first step. Have your preferred run dates, ad size, and whether you want print, online, or both ready before you call.
For news tips
Phone the main number and ask for the newsroom, or mail or drop off information at the Sauk Centre address. A useful tip includes:
- What happened, where, and when
- Names and titles spelled correctly
- A phone number or email where a reporter can reach you
- Any documents, photos, or links that support the tip
If your tip concerns one of the smaller community papers, say so, since coverage areas differ.
A practical decision criterion
Call if your request is time-sensitive, needs a rate quote, or involves a sensitive tip you would rather not put in writing. Use mail or an in-person visit for documents, photos, or anything that needs a paper trail.
