Brauer reports on a strike that could potentially cripple the ailing Star-Tribune: Star Tribune drivers have moved step closer to a walkout that could paralyze the bankrupt paper’s print operation. According to a memo from publisher Chris Harte, the drivers voted Tuesday night to authorize a strike if U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain grants the company’s request to throw out their contract.
Could we be heading toward a Minneapolis without a daily newspaper? Would that be a bad thing? And what could take the place of the Star-Tribune?

A daily newspaper is part of a city’s social capital

Losing the Strib wouldn’t leave Minneapolis without a daily paper. They can read the PiPress, instead, for gosh sakes!
