Star Tribune publisher to step down when Avista takes over

Minneapolis Star Tribune | Romenesko Memos
J. Keith Moyer, who has been Star Tribune publisher since July 2001, tells his staff: “I am not leaving because of the change of ownership. In fact, I believe the Star Tribune, as it was under McClatchy, is going to be in excellent hands with Avista.” Avista Capital Partners becomes Star Tribune’s owner in early March. || Moyer’s memo: “I’m not leaving because I’ve lost faith in this industry.”
