Humorist, writer and noted Minnesotan Garrison Keillor accused the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch of “grim attention” to his private life and called the paper at least partially to blame for his decision to move to Denmark. In a letter printed in Sunday’s editions, the host of “A Prairie Home Companion” chastised the newspaper for interviewing his neighbors, taking photographs of his house and printing his address on Page 1 in 1985. “That isn’t the sort of journalism they taught us at Murphy Hall (at the University of Minnesota),” Keillor wrote. The paper’s executive editor, Deborah Howell, responded to earlier criticism by Keillor saying in a column that she did not think the newspaper should be blamed for his departure.
