MEDIA: Trib to buy Gannett?
Published on Dec 06, 2006
As the daily newspaper industry continues to have problems, and some of the biggest names are put up for sale, the locally-grown Gannett chain has been considering expanding. It's been named as a possible buyer for the Chicago Tribune.
Commented media critic Michael Miner, writing in the alt-weekly Chicago Reader: "Handing the Tribune to Gannett would be like turning over the New York City Ballet to Radio City Music Hall."
