the story behind the story

Interesting article in Minnpost about how the Favre story was broken by WCCO.
I really like Minnpost, and I hope it represents a new trend in journalism. It is a member supported news website. Kind of like PBS but on the internet.
Minnesota has been fertile ground for cutting edge journalism, where you can find some of the best video photojournalists and reporters in the nation, a giant in public broadcasting, and home of (in my humble opinion) one of the country's best community tv news departments, where this little blogger got her start.
As we sit and wonder how we will continue to make a living in the media, Minnpost has an interesting business model.
Let's see if it's copied in other markets.
