Autorenporträt

Ben Welter, news copy chief at the Star Tribune newspaper, is a Minneapolis native and a graduate of the University of Minnesota. At work, he edits stories and writes headlines and photo captions. In his free time, he fishes for bluegills, rides a mountain bike and plays hockey and Scrabble. His history blog, Yesterday's News, features stories and photos culled from the Minneapolis newspaper's 145-year-old microfilm archive. To avoid dating himself, he established one rule at the blog's launch in 2005: stories published during his own lengthy newspaper career do not qualify as Yesterday's News. He has broken that rule just once, posting an account of Twins legend Kirby Puckett's exhausting first day in the Big Leagues in May 1984.
