June 2026, Star Tribune cuts jobs, pursues nonprofit structure

by | Jun 6, 2026

Summary: The Minnesota Star Tribune announced a workforce reduction of about 15% combined through voluntary buyouts and targeted layoffs as part of a broader plan to transition toward a nonprofit ownership model. Executives framed the move as a restructuring to secure the paper’s long-term sustainability amid industry revenue pressures, citing the need to align operations with nonprofit governance and to reduce costs while preserving core newsroom functions. The change follows recent high-profile journalism awards at the paper and is intended to reposition the organization for philanthropic and mission-driven support while shrinking its payroll and administrative footprint.
