Forum Communications Company

Inforum.com is the online news portal for The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, a daily newspaper serving southeastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Owned by the family-operated Forum Communications Company, the site provides local and regional news coverage, including articles on local businesses, crime, and community events. While not a traditional data broker, the publication of news articles can expose personal information about individuals involved in news events, which becomes publicly accessible and searchable online. This can lead to privacy risks such as doxxing and harassment, as sensitive details from news reports can be aggregated and misused by malicious actors. Individuals should be mindful of the information they share publicly and with reporters, as once published, it becomes part of the public record. Protecting one's privacy in this context involves understanding the public nature of news reporting and, when necessary, contacting the publication directly to request corrections or updates to published information.
