Reusse: NFL needs its Lou Gelfand to call out blunders January 25, 2021 5:00pm Text size Copy shortlink:
The Star Tribune continues to have a healthy-sized newsroom, thanks to committed ownership rather than a slash-happy hedge fund. What we no longer have is Lou Gelfand not Lou himself, but a full-time person dedicated to convincing a reporter that it would be in the best interest of all stakeholders were he or she to fess up to an error in fact or even judgment.
Lou served as the reader s representative for the Star Tribune for 23 years, with that role ending in 2004. He had a different assignment and there was a disagreement over his departure a few years later. He died in 2013 at age 91.
