In a Ramsey County District Court judge's recent ruling that the St. Paul Pioneer Press be allowed to search computers owned or used by Star Tribune employees amid claims that the computers contained confidential advertising information, somewhat overshadowed was the fate of Jennifer Parratt.

Parratt, whom new Star Tribune publisher Par Ridder had brought with him from the Pioneer Press as his new director of niche publications, was temporarily suspended from her job on orders of the judge, who said Parratt had broken a noncompete agreement when she took the new post at the Star Tribune.
