The One-Woman Solution

Inside Katherine Kersten’s Red Star crusade

When the tinny tinkle of “Joy to the World, the Lord is Come” begins playing on the cell phone, everyone in range in the Star Tribune newsroom knows who’s getting a call. It is Katherine Kersten, the paper’s unapologetically religious and fiercely conservative metro columnist.

Since May 2005, the Star Tribune has been engaged in what its top editor freely describes as “an experiment.” The test has Katherine Kersten, a fifty-five-year-old former banker, lawyer, and think-tank denizen (from the Center of the American Experiment), now an opinion [news columnist] writer, playing the role of an alien element injected into a tradition-bound newspaper culture.
