Former Twin Cities media mogul, Otto Silha died Saturday of a heart attack. He was 80 years old. Silha got his start at the Minnesota Daily newspaper. In 1940 he took a job as a copy editor at the former Minneapolis Star and eventually became chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Cowles Media, the former owner of the Star Tribune. Silha was involved in many things from city planning to the Republican party. But journalism was his first love. In his retirement, he helped found the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the University of Minnesota, his alma mater. Director, Bill Babcock, says Sihla started the Center because he wanted the media to be more accountable.
