Pioneer Press v. Par Ridder (PDF file) | Editor & Publisher
"High point -- Staying in the Twin Cities." Those lines come from Exhibit B ("Intro speech 2006?"), which is a copy of
Par Ridder's notes for a get-to-know-me Star Tribune speech. (Exhibit B is near the end of the batch of documents.) He also writes under "Working email to all EEs": "I wasn't looking to leave the Pioneer Press but rather I needed to leave MN [MediaNews]. There were no disagreements about budgets or the newspaper's strategy but just a sense, after getting to know [
Dean Singleton's] leadership team, that we weren't right for each other." ||
Singleton says: "We assumed he would stay as publisher for a long time."
