In 1976 McFarlane, a 26 year-old media enthusiast purchased rights to Insight News in 1975 and began publishing as a community newspaper in 1976. Conceived as a free to the reader, advertiser supported newspaper, Insight News was at the forefront of a burgeoning neighborhood and community newspaper industry in Twin Cities.Insight News found its niche by providing concentrated distribution, both door-to-door and newsstand delivery, in communities that had least effective penetration by the daily newspapers.
