Tribune Co. May be Considering Bankruptcy Filing

If the newspaper industry of late could be compared to a game of dominoes it looks like the next, very big one, may be about to go. The New York Times is reporting that the Sam Zell-owned Tribune Co. is deeply in debt (this we already knew) and is considering filing for bankruptcy.

Which makes us wonder if maybe all that shrinking and those “deep cuts” and the talk about reporters giving the customer what they want instead of gunning for Pulitzers didn’t actually pay off in the end.
