The World According to Tribune II

The news of Tribune antics reaches me even when I'm vacationing in France!

All on the front page of the main section above the masthead. Teasers of the Cubune:

Tuesday, 8-22 Sports "Contreras Struggles as Sox fall 6 1/2 back"

Wednesday, 8-23 Sports "Tigers Get Best of Sox"

Thursday, 8-24 Teasers for Social Survivor, Cake by the Pound and Lemont loses heartbreaker. No mention of Sox who won 7-5

Friday, 8-25 Teasers for Outkast, Ugly Buildings and High School. No mention
of Sox who won 10-0.

"Journalists must avoid any conflict of interest or the appearance of conflict." -- from the American Society of Newspaper Editors Code of Ethics

"Journalists should avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived, remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility, disclose unavoidable conflicts... deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence news coverage." -- from the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics

"A Newspaper should have no friends." -- Joseph Pulitzer

"Tribune has great resources, but those resources aren’t doing much public good.... That’s why we’d like to see the company sell itself out of the newspaper business." -- The Columbia Journalism Review
