Aw gee, now why does my coffee taste sweeter all the sudden?
As FReepers we've read endless excerpts from this paper to know the folks who run it are definitive of the concept of "open treason". Sure, they'll slither off and find new outlets to express their hatred of our nation, but there will be one less voice signing in the "Red Choir". And that's always good news...
Cheers!

Why are you so obsessed with the demise of print media?

“After Avista bought the company, the firm’s partner, OhSang Kwon, was quoted in the paper as saying that Minneapolis-St. Paul was a “good market” and that “this is a good time to be buying newspapers.””
OhSang Kwon is also eyeing big investments in the steam engine, the telegraph and the camera film industries.

I will repeat my prediction:
Within two years, Dimocrats will propose federal funding of the dinosaur media.

If enough newspapers start going belly-up, where will FR get its news to discuss?
To: abb
Couldn't happen to a more deserving paper....
Maybe if you wrote unbiased news, it would circulate more....

No one in Minnesota with an ounce of brains pays any attention to the Strib anymore. Even the letters to the Editor show that only liberals are reading it. I see this paper occasionally when I fill-in at the local clinic, and ti amazes me what the readers are thinking. They are all left wing loonies.
I think maybe the paper receives about 1-2 conservative leters per month, and usually in support of Katherine Kerstien, who write good oped pieces.

Not only do I despise the MSM, but it also gives me a chuckle when I read stories about investment firms losing their equity holdings. They are simply, utterly clueless as to how the information business has transitioned to the 'Net.
Before anyone invests one penny, they should research what Reuters is doing. It's nothing more than a more sophisticated version of FR. With news as a commodity, the value proposition is context & analysis: exactly what one gets reading FR with insider views and external links to further information.
Of course, just because Reuters sees what's happening doesn't mean that they can avoid the same fate. Read some of the reader comments which suggest that information streaming + analytical tools are also subject to low cost, open source technologies.

“I celebrate their demise vociferously.”
Yea! That too!

I still have in the attic, a nearly new, bright yellow "Minneapolis Star and Tribune" newspaper delivery bag from the 50's, that I proudly hung from the back of my Schwinn single speed bike when the snow wasn't too deep to ride it. It is nearly new, since I wore out many others on my delivery route. Much of the basis for my current belief in the American Free Enterprise system came from the on hands experience I gained from those years of delivering, selling, and collecting for the papers.
That being said, none of the basis for my belief in the American Free Enterprise system came from the words written on that paper. Any one want to buy a bag?

Like I've said too many times earlier, Alvin Toffler's world of de-massified media he predicted way back in 1979 has become 2008 reality--and the newspapers and newsmagazines aren't liking it AT ALL. Remember how the webmaster of Deadspin.com got a nasty treatment on that HBO special just four days ago?
To: abb
No doubt like the worst paper in the nation the Chicago Trib it hates its readers, and it hires affirmative action flunkies to basically write the “old white devil” crap they all learned in college.
