St. Paul Pioneer Press
"I wanted to work up more vitriol" over
Par Ridder quitting the Pioneer Press to become Star Tribune publisher, says
Joe Soucheray. "But it ain't there. These guys -- these interchangeable publishers -- aren't newspaper guys. That would worry me if I worked in Minneapolis. If Ridder could suddenly walk away from St. Paul, where he has history and a great-grandfather yelling at him from the grave, imagine what a sharp young guy like Ridder can accomplish when he gets in that boardroom with the Avista Capital investors."
