Star Tribulations.

This article reports on the turmoil at the "Star Tribune" of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Much of the controversy surrounds editor Nancy Barnes, who had to oversee the downsizing and reorganization of the paper. Besides having to let 68 out of 400 employees go, the paper was bought by Avista Capital Partners, a New York investment company. The paper's publisher, Par Ridder, is also being sued by a rival paper. However, Barnes most resents accusations that her focus on local implies diminishing quality.
