Wayzata Investment Partners became majority owner of the Star Tribune Company in August 2012, with a 58 percent stake. In 2014, the company was acquired by Glen Taylor, owner of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. Taylor, a former Republican state senator, said that the "Star Tribune" would be less liberal under his ownership. However, he said that the newspaper had already begun a shift and he would focus on accurately reporting both sides of all issues. In May 2015, the company acquired alternative weekly "City Pages" from Voice Media Group.
