The idea here would be to wait for the Star-Tribune to come out of bankruptcy, snatch the Pioneer Press from Media News and then combine the papers and "get rid of a huge amount of costs in the combination, pulling employees and warm bodies." Our buyer says after combining the two, he'd raise subscription and ad rates.
