Having two papers -- the Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune -- means wasting tons of newsprint and human potential duplicating each other's stuff, says
David Brauer. He likes the idea of a combined paper with "an all-star lineup of scribes blending the Strib's relative breadth and clean design with the PiPress's bite and hyperlocal focus. It’s not inconceivable to think the PiStar or StribPress would cover more beats than either current paper -- and throw more reporters at the biggest stories."
