Has the Star Tribune given up covering Minnesota politics?

January 4th, 2008 5:17 pm by DJ Danielson

When the Star Tribune’s website launched “Politically Connected” a few months ago wasn’t that supposed to make the Strib the end-all/be-all source for politics?

Apparently not if you are interested in what’s going on in Minnesota. As I visited the area of the site today to see what they had to say about Kevin Dahle’s victory over Ray Cox last night, I noticed they have not updated since December 20th. In fact, the most recent story about the District 25 race was about the Republican primary.

Good job serving your readership, Strib.

[UPDATE]:  It was brought to my attention that I did not have the address in the title bar causing suspicion that this was from a Google (or other) cache.  It is not; it is the “Local Politics” page currently featured at the Star Tribune.  When you goto Politically Connected and click “Local Politics” on the left-side navigation, this is what you get.

Regardless, above is a double screen-shot of the page featuring old content.  I also assumed that when I said “Apparently not if you are interested in what’s going on in Minnesota,” that would imply “local politics.”  I apologize for any confusion.
