== Section on Price == |
|||
The price of the print edition now (July 2018) is $2.50 in the Chicago area. It's been that way for much of the year, as I recall. I have not found a source for the current price online, not even on the Tribune web site or in Robert Feder's blog. |

I wonder whether it makes sense for the Wikipedia page to try to keep up. It seems to me that the price mentioned on the Wikipedia page will inevitably usually be out of date. [[User:M.boli|M.boli]] ([[User talk:M.boli|talk]]) 01:16, 17 July 2018 (UTC) |

Japanese Codes
The article mentions the 1942 story about Midway, something that could have alerted the japanese to the wartime secret that the US had broken the japanese military codes. According to the newseum website, http://www.newseum.org/warstories/essay/secrecy.htm, this was a story that was not cleared by censors, and had FDR furious - enough to consider shutting down the Tribune. This is hardly a journalistic 'scoop'. Pjwhoopie17 (talk) 13:27, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Recent Controversies
The issue under "Recent Controversy," however legitimate the complaint may be, is a local issue in the community concerned, and of little relevance to the larger newspaper or the larger corporation. But there is a much more substantial recent controversy involving the Tribune's handling of its other media properties, especially the Los Angeles Times, which has resulted in the nation's leading journal about journalism -- the Columbia Journalism Review -- calling upon Tribune in a January 2007 editorial to actually get out of journalism altogether. That's a much bigger deal. But I don't think I have the expertise to recount the LA Times controversy. Any of you?
?
What happened between the 1970's and the leadership on the internet?
Circulation Wars ?
I notice no mention of the Circulation Wars between the Tribune and Examiner during the 1910s ? MadMax 01:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- This is a wiki; if you have factual material to add regarding the circulation wars, feel free to add it. — JonRoma 02:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- To be fair I was asking a question, not making a criticism. MadMax 02:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
"The leading voice of midwestern[sic] conservativism?"
Until someone can provide attribution for this quote (which occurs near the top of the article), it should remain excised.
A quick google reveals other encyclopedia pages using it, probably spidered from this article, because they mostly retain the capitalization error. There's one other use of the phrase in an amateur pdf, but it's not an authoritative source, and doesn't provide any attribution for the quote either (probably also culled from wikipedia). Without a notable speaker, this quote is mere hearsay, it doesn't meet encyclopedic standards. Thomas B 02:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Dewey Defeats Truman
I read somewhere that this error was because of an early telephone poll that indicated a Republican win. Of course in 1948 telephones were still a luxury so the poll was flawed and biased towards wealthier voters that were more likely to be Republican. Can anyone confirm this & make an edit? Megamanic 04:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
What does the Chelsea Clinton wedding have to do with the 1948 presidential election? Article not clear on the relationship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.200.168 (talk) 16:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Stars in list of current columnists?
Hi. I've just added a name (Mark Steyn) to the list of current columnists, and rearranged it into alphabetical order. Some of the names were preceded by an asterisk, with no explanation. I've removed the asterisks (mostly because I lost track of them while rearranging). If anyone knows what they mean, please add them back, along with an explanation. Cheers, CWC(talk) 17:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Polygamy story
Why is it that a very brief history of a 160-year-old institution must include an overly long, shamelessly biased blurb about "controversy" erupting from a story it wrote in 2006 about polygamy? -BWV
- It shouldn't and if there is no objection, I'll remove the section tomorrow (unless someone else beats me to it). Shsilver 23:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
"Principal"?
"it remains the principal daily newspaper of the midwestern United States"
I know what this is trying to get at, but it (accidentally?) makes a false point. The Tribune often fills a purpose as the "newspaper of record" for the Midwest, in the same way that the New York Times does in the East, in addition to being the local paper of their respective cities. But it is certainly not the "principal" paper in most other Midwestern cities. If you walk around Kansas City, or Cleveland, or Minneapolis, you're never going to see the Tribune in a machine or being read on the train (hah! trains in the Midwest!). Just like the Times wouldn't be in common circulation in Boston or Philly. But I don't know how to succinctly describe the position the Tribune (and the NY Times, along with what, the San Francisco Chronicle? LA Times?) has, so if you know better, help! --Xyzzyva 22:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Bush endorsement
"In 2004, the Tribune endorsed President Bush for re-election, a decision at odds with the paper's reporting but consistent with its unwaivering support for the Republican Party ..."
Exactly how was the endorsement "at odds with the paper's reporting"? I was under the impression that bylined reporters for the Tribune refrained from endorsing either Bush or his opponent. This statement needs to be clarified or deleted. W i k i W i s t a h t / c 16:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Anti-Gun
It is questionable to call the Tribune a Republican paper, since their editorial policy is strongly anti-gun ownership and anti-gun carry, and that editorial view has been consistent for many years. It is also true that many of their columnists carried on the editorial page are pretty liberal (Clarence Page, Eric Zorn, Garrison Keillor, Molly Ivins (deceased), Cynthia Tucker, Leonard Pitts, etc.) That said, the Chicago Tribune is not a liberal paper either, but is generally middle of the road. SunSw0rd 18:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- SunSw0rd: You mistake the opinions page with the editorials. The opinions page carries views of columnists – some from the Tribune staff and some syndicated writers – while the editorial page contains the views of the paper's editorial board. JonRoma (talk) 01:29, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Involvement in the 2008 Presidential race
I have heard on October 17th of that year, the Chicago Tribune --along with its major rivals the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times--has endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Before possibly adding a new section in this article, please consider giving discussions about this story. --Nebula2357 (talk) 19:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- This certainly doesn't need a separate section, but the endorsement itself is already incorporated into the article. JonRoma (talk) 06:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Mention of Conflict of Interest
I feel that there should be at least some mention of the fact that the Tribune, which writes about sports, owns the Chicago Cubs. I subscribe to the paper and have so for many years and nowhere on any issue does it mention that it owns the team. The paper frequently promotes the Cubs to boost team revenue and its own in turn. This is a clear conflict of interest and though it may be just the sports section and some may claim then that's "its no big deal" un-ethical action by a news source is still un-ethical no matter how small. Any thoughts? 131.230.146.135 (talk) 06:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Distribution
I cannot find the Chicago Tribune in St. Louis, MO. Where did it go? Where can I find it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.163.196 (talk) 06:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Support of Bush, calling for removal of Democrats ?
The article currently reads:
"Although the Tribune has criticized the Bush administration's record on civil liberties, the environment, and many aspects of its foreign policy, it still supports his presidency while taking Democrats, such as Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, to task and calling for their removal from office."
Has the Trib called for the removal of other Democrats from office?
BobShair (talk) 03:19, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- They've been calling for the removal of Todd Stroger since he passed a tax hike, so while the language looks out of date, it is an accurate statement. Of course, Stroger just lost his primary bid for reelection.Shsilver (talk) 03:25, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Steve Chapman
The link for Steve Chapman goes to a page for some British professor with the same name, not for the Tribune columnist. There is also another link at Instauration, as Stephen Chapman, that also ends up in the same wrong place. JmA (talk) 14:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

New external link template for Chicago Tribune archives
A new external link template Template:ChicagoTribuneKeyword may be used to simplify the addition of an external link from the "External links" section of a Wikipedia article to the archive of related articles from the Chicago Tribune. In most cases, the template may simply be invoked with no parameters. For example, on page Michael Jordan
== External links == * {{ChicagoTribuneKeyword}}
..generates:
External links
- Michael Jordan articles in the archive of the Chicago Tribune
