Dis-Strib-Ute
The Strib is planning some big changes, or so said a column in Sunday's Op Ed pages. The changes appear to be mostly related to look, and organization.
For example:
However, I read through this a couple of times, and there's not one word about throttling back on the paper's far-Left editorial bent, a move which really would catch the eyes of potential conservative readers. Strib, do ya think maybe you're just rearranging deck chairs on ye olde Titanic?

Rambix, who keeps a pretty close eye on the Strib, tells of another example of the Strib's editorial bent, in this post.
For example:
The changes will include a number of new sections and features, such as a twice-a-week World news section, a new Sunday style section called Signature, a revamped weekend section called Scene, a new weather page, more health reporting, expanded people news and more personal finance coverage.
Both the paper and website will come with new designs, drawing on the best thinking from our staff, our readers, universities and newspapers from around the country.
You will also find a long list of innovations meant to serve an array of readers, such as a daily guide to the Internet, a new level of how-to information, and a summary of the entire paper boiled down to a single column, to mention a few.

New packaging, some old MSM, correct?
How about trying--'the truth and nothing but?'
As for your link-- Larry King Live had a great lineup the Friday prior to Rita. He featured everyone from Bill Nye, the Science Guy, to the National Hurricane Center (whom I like).
Just b4 close off, guess who appeared? IT'S R. ODonnell's immoral partner giving money--to hurricane victims? Wow!
The Red Cross has collected over a billion dollars in that regard. Wonder HOW MANY of those donors appeared with Larry?
Or desired to!!
Finally, from the deep South, on the edge of the hurricane zone, here is a proper reply to the Star:

Don't 'politicize' natural disasters
People who politicize natural disasters are scum of the Earth.
Be they Republican or Democrat, male or female, white or black, they are all scum.

Heh, indeed, same old MSM.
Ol' Glenn in Vicksburg speaks plainly, and correctly!

Perhpas Mr. Pickering would be interested in replacing Jim Boyd on the Star Tribune's editorial board? If he declined, the ST could improve their integrity and intelligence by replacing him with a rock. Or a small stone. Or a stoner?
The Star Tribune really needs to work on more than their layout. Given the market and existing competition, however, they don't have enough impetus to engage in real self examination.

Pickering vs. Nick Coleman in a cage match! I'd pay to see that!
I suppose the only thing that would forces significant changes at the Strib is if the number subscriptions declines enough.
