Strib Dumps Architecture Beat – Other Cuts Coming

Minnesota’s largest daily paper, the Star Tribune, which was recently acquired by a private equity firm, has announced that it will cut 145 jobs over the coming months, and some reporters within the paper are already being reassigned. It looks as if the paper’s arts coverage will be hit hard: two TV writers are told to compete for a single job, and the only full-time architecture critic in the Twin Cities is being reassigned entirely.
