Minnesota ’s most liberal newspaper, the rostrum of the star, filed for bankruptcy a few months ago. Excuse me while writing, and then strike the happy dance for a moment. It ’s not that I wish the writers, editors, photographers and other staff of the unwillingness of paper. In contrast, grew up study Strib. Despite its shortcomings, the paper takes a bit of nostalgia for childhood. More than that, I don ‘t wish to search for a job at unanticipated anyone in this economy. But the future of displaced employees Strib are now clinging to the newspaper ’sinking; preservative life past s. Earlier this month, a group of SavetheStrib launched a Web site designed to help them find a new owner for his “object of value essential community resource to lose.” In addition to their pleas for help, they ‘ve proposed a new business model, one blogger Ed Morissey of Minnesota and said hot air “certainly set the shrieks of the class-war by shouting at the Strib” editorial section s of any other corporation if it tried. ” The improved business model is the creation of the Minnesota Newspaper Guild: The guild is supporting federal legislation in Washington that would include newspapers from businesses that offer a “benefit” social service to the community of public revenue under current rules. This will pave the way for a unique hybrid model of a property called L3C - Low-profit limited liability corporation - that qualifies as a charity under IRS rules, but it works as for-profit business. Worldview may need a more liberal reading this correctly, but I think the Strib would like to make a profit and then be exempt from paying taxes on it. Who knew that something newspapers are charities that business? Clearly, people who thought up this gem aren ‘t living in the reality of a capitalist society. The newspaper is dying in part because of the difficult economic climate. If you offer a product that the public wanted at a price the public is willing to pay, could justify the salaries they pay their staff and have made concessions to unions. But the other problem is that the rostrum of the star wants to promote a liberal agenda, the views and wishes of their total number of readers curse. Ironically, this mentality is evident even in the Web site of SavetheStrib, which reports useful to visitors: “While we appreciate comments from all vantage points, this site is not a forum for political views. If you have a problem with the newspaper ’s content, we suggest that you write a letter to the editor or a commentary that sets the specific article on startribune.com. We understand that not everyone agrees with what we produce. However, we are looking for constructive comments. Thank you. ” Something that makes its ways or face the music, the energy behind this newspaper some of the fight, in true liberal form, asking for money or an exemption from the corporate tax laws. Some they ‘ve long stay in favor of taxation before the other people’ s business The Strib is using up his last lifeline. But it ’s that really chokes for some time.
