I have been reading the Minneapolis Tribune since I was a kid--that's probably 60 years. Admittedly, it was only the Sunday funnies at first but I progressed to the news and editorials over time.
The Star and the Tribune consolidated many years ago and became one newspaper that's delivered statewide and even into Wisconsin. Like most other papers, it has fallen on hard times and struggles to keep publishing. However, they recently emerged from bankruptcy and seem to be doing OK.
I would really suffer the loss if they ceased publication. The morning paper is such an important part of my day. The news that I get from TV and online could not begin to fill the void.
So, again I say, may the Star Tribune live long and prosper!

Has there ever been anything other than the Star Tribune ? I've never found another that I enjoy reading as much.
So many of the old flagship newspapers are folding. When I was young, most big cities has two dailies, a morning (the "better" one) and the upstart afternoon daily. Then, in the late 60's, the combining began...people began looking to television for news...now, they are closing down completely in some areas...very sad...not good for our country, not good for our students...
I couldn't agree more...it's sad when a paper disappears...I remember when The Washington Post was as thick as a fat log -- now it's a mere shadow of its former self -- and trying to survive
