 MINNESOTANS AGAINST TERRORISM
One promising sign of reform at the Star Tribune, says Mark Rotenberg, co-founder of Minnesotans Against Terrorism, is the newspaper's increased use of the word 'terrorism' to describe the targeted killing of Israeli civilians.
Rotenberg noted that Star Tribune Vice President Ben Taylor acknowledged to the Los Angeles Times on April 28 that his newspaper's decision to censor the words 'terrorism' and 'terrorists' in an April 3 New York Times wire story was a mistake by an editor who 'misinterpreted' the newspaper's policy.
In addition to calling attention to the Star Tribune's biased news coverage, the group has expanded its activities to include sponsoring speeches by counter-terrorism experts, coordinating rallies, and other educational activities that focus attention on the terrorist threat faced by Israelis and Americans alike.

 Star Tribune Discovers Terror
That was described yet again in Star Tribune wire reports as the work of a 'militant group'.
So the Star Tribune, which has maintained a 'non-judgmental' refusal to call Palestinian terror by name, determined that the King David bombing was, in fact, 'Zionist terror'.
The Star Tribune should be honest with its readers and call all attacks specifically targeted against innocent men, women and children by its proper name, "terrorism", and not play favorites with specific groups or causes.

 National Catholic Reporter: Paper bans sports names that offend Indians - Minneapolis Star Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS -- People are abuzz about a new Star Tribune newspaper policy not to publish nicknames and logos of sports teams that are offensive to American Indians.
Editor Tim McGuire, a lifelong Catholic, says his faith and this decision "are not disconnected." However, a balancing act exits between faith in the marketplace and the realities of running a newspaper, he said.
Many high school teams in Minneapolis have cropped offensive nicknames, he said, and a local television station is considering a move such as the Star Tribune's.

For those not in the know, the PLCFA protects gun manufacturers from the same sort of tort extortion that the tobacco industry has endured over the past several years.

Kennedy) and a day at a nudist camp ("they participated native-style," the editor's note said).
But the assignment that might have had the deepest effect was documenting a July 4th wacipi, or powwow, in the early 1960s on the Red Lake Indian Reservation.
