Star Tribune retail reporter Norfleet becomes night editor

Nicole Norfleet

Nicole Norfleet, the retail reporter at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, has become its night editor.

She has been covering retail, including Target, Best Buy, the Mall of America and other malls since 2020.

Two years ago, she was a Pulitzer Prize investigative reporting category finalist for “comprehensive and tenacious reporting that exposed how financial service companies purchased settlements from vulnerable accident victims across the country, convincing them to give up millions of dollars, often with judges’ approval.”

Norfleet has been with the Star Tribune since July 2010 and also spent time on the metro desk.

She is a UNC-Chapel Hill graduate.
