Coming after your beat
The Star Tribune has announced they have let go of Susan Albright, a strong editorial voice for the company. And why would they do that, you ask?
“I believe the role of a metro newspaper is changing radically and rapidly in a world of instant global access to information,” (Publisher Chris) Harte wrote in a memo to staff. “I see the need for our editorial pages, like the rest of the newspaper, to concentrate more heavily than ever on local, state and regional issues.”
Community newspapers be on notice, the Trib is coming after your beats.
