Question

The Chicago Tribune bought the Naperville Sun & turned it into a shell of its former self, but it’s STILL our City’s newspaper, with local ads & columns & news tucked amongst the majority Tribune-supplied content. But if Alden Capital gets the majority ownership of the Tribune, the TRIBUNE itself will be further stripped of content & I doubt the Sun will even survive. Is there anyone in Naperville who can find a big enough group of journalism-minded rich people to buy the Chicago Tribune & save both it & the Naperville Sun?

Answer 1

Consider supporting The Tribune by subscribing. If you don't want all that paper, subscribe to the digital edition.  

Answer 2

Haven’t bought the Sun in 40 years. Daily Herald in now the best local newspaper in my opinion. Trib got way too expensive.  

Answer 3

I subscribe to the digital Tribune. It's expensive though and I cringe just thinking about it.

@protolanguage9 that makes me feel better. (I meant that sarcastically but I suppose it's true. ) That's why I haven't cancelled honestly. I don't think it's fair for people to read stuff (journalism) without paying for it.

(My comma is broken. It's irritating. That's why I didn't punctuate very well in my above comment. But on the positive side - my keyboard is failing but the PC itself is doing okay! )

@protolanguage9 yes I agree! I put up with intermittent performance of the keyboard but the dead comma is a deal-breaker! Lol

@protolanguage9 so is paying taxes, and we are feed up with that rate increase .

@trait6422 you are very kind! Thank you! I've ordered a cheap one - we'll see if it works. can I follow up if this one doesn't pan out? I appreciate your kind offer!  

Answer 4

To subscribe to the Trib online, ask for the 99¢ a week intro rate, billed monthly. And any time they try to raise your rate, say you'll cancel if they don't renew at 99¢.

Are you still renewing at 99cents? Interesting.  

Answer 5

A wonderful post about the importance of supporting local news:
