A sad update re the state of American #journalism:

We are longtime subscribers to the #ChicagoTribune, a newspaper with 177 years of respected history as a watchdog fighting against #Chicago corruption. Tribune is the second largest publisher of newspapers in the US after Gannett: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribun

We regretfully canceled our subscription based on the terrible business decisions of their #HedgeFund owners who are gradually killing the Trib and its sister publications. The final straw was this notice appearing in the mail, informing us that the price of the newspaper would be jacked up to over $7 per day, hoping we wouldn’t notice.

Apologies to the @chicagotribune reporters, editors and staff who continue to work there. We are switching to @ChicagoSunTimes

#ChicagoTribune Editorial Board: When you think that comparing the traffic issues in the city of Chicago (pop. +2.6M/232 sq mi)) to those of the country of Wales (pop. 3.1M/8K sq miles) is a winning argument, you might wanna lose the smug tone and find a more robust board.

"The City Council might do well to look at what happened in Wales."

Chicago Tribune · Editorial: Go carefully with that 25 mph speed limit plan, ChicagoBy The Editorial Board

The #NewYorkTimes faced blowback Thursday from outraged #journalists who argued a new editorial irresponsibly, and incorrectly, cast former President #DonaldTrump as an "outlaw hero."
Former #ChicagoTribune editor #MarkJacob was among those who took to X to share his disgust with #AmericanConservative contributing editor #MatthewSchmitz's editorial, entitled "Trump Embraces Lawlessness, but in the Name of a Higher Law," published by the Times Thursday.

#Newspapers Sue #OpenAI for #CopyrightInfringement and 'Fake News' Hallucinations
Eight newspapers, including the New York Daily News, #ChicagoTribune and the #DenverPost, accuse the companies of training #ChatGPT models on their content without permission or compensation. In addition, ChatGPT allegedly harms the plaintiffs' reputations by linking them to #fakenews.
