The Nation’s Fastest Growing Major Newspaper

Good news for our local newspaper, the Star Tribune. Of the twenty largest newspapers in the country, they are the fastest growing. Congratulations are in order even though they were helped by an easy curve; only four of the top 20 saw an increase, all less than 1%.

We in the MOB have been quick to criticize the newspaper of the Twin Cities, but they must be doing something right (or at least less wrong than their peers). Maybe the others should consider hiring controversial hack columnists and not doing anything that would taint them with a Pulitzer Prize.
