The Star Tribune has named conservative Katherine Kersten as a Metro columnist. Kersten will write two columns a week beginning May 1. From the Poynter-Romenesko website: "I want to enhance the paper's capacity to speak to a broad community, to all the people of this state."

On a related note, here is a column from today's San Francisco Chronicle regarding a current debate in the journalism community on lack of female voices on the op-ed pages. "Cindy Rodriguez of the Denver Post agreed with [Susan] Estrich and referred to the anachronistic 'formula' in which papers see one woman and one minority columnist as a recipe for diversity." Here is the link to the rest of the Chronicle column: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/03/22/EDGBPBQDPC1.DTL Minneapolis link on the related note: I believe the Rodriguez Formula for the Star Tribune would be slightly off with Kersten, Syl Jones and C.J.
