St. Paul Pioneer Press
Media notes from inside the X
No one's been a tougher critic than me when it comes to lamenting the dramatic decline in the public affairs news coverage of our state's largest newspaper, the Star Tribune.
Perhaps that's what makes this photo of the Star Tribune's work space almost show-stopping:
St. Paul Pioneer Press Reporters Morph into Animals -- Political Animals
The St. Paul Pioneer Press Capitol press corps team has launched a new blog, "The Political Animal." Veteran political reporters Bill Salisbury, Rachel Stassen-Berger and Dennis Lien
"will cover the ins and outs of Minnesota politics from the legislative
session to the political races to Republican National Convention." So
far, so good. A post about which legislators accept the lowest per diems of the bunch. Answers: Sen. Tony Lourey (DFL-Kerrick) in the Senate and Rep. Steve Simon (DFL-St. Louis Park) in the House. Another about Republican legislators sporting new "I Support Molnau" buttons. And, a post about Rep. Dennis Ozment
(R-Rosemount) arriving at the Capitol direct from Ecuador a mere 20
minutes before yesterday's opening gavel. All posts telling us
something we didn't know. Good on Salisbury, Stassen-Berger and Lien.
