These internet blogs are really hard to keep up. Even though the entries are short, you have to write one every day or you forget about it.
Did you see that Joel Kramer made an official announcement on his new internet paper? His business philosophy is to hire the reporters who earned big salaries at the real papers for not really doing anything and pay them peanuts. I wonder what that will get him. Also, if Kramer thinks that his new venture will go anywhere when it looks about as good as my internet blog that I haven't updated in two weeks, he's wackier than Singleton.
Someone also told me that the old editor of the City Pages was starting the same thing. I'm guessing it will just as silly, but with more stories on police brutality. Good luck, guys, you're going to need it. Raising money is one thing, getting reporters to work and competing with the big dogs is much harder.

After leaving the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Par Ridder recently became the publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There's been some controversy with his changing roles, and he'd like to let people know his side of the story. Also, this blog is a parody. It's not the thoughts and opinions of the real Par Ridder.
