Hey, what do you know, yet another suggestion that a state government bail out a failing newspaper. This time it is Minnesota and the Star-Tribune.

And in reaction to the Gannett job cuts, more pining for a non-profit solution to newspapers. A more likely path, at least at first, selling off expensive real estate and relocating ops to cheaper locales.

But could the editorial side of so many smarter than Smart Growth papers stand to be part of the sprawl problem they heap abuse upon?
