Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times Will Contain Full-Page 'We're For Sale' Ad

'Interested parties may contact Bulkley Capital'

It’s not every day that a major metropolitan daily takes out a full-page ad looking for buyers. But that will be the case tomorrow in the Chicago Sun-Times.

The paper previewed the text of the ad today, amidst several reports about the unusual circumstances. Not to mention a growing tweet-storm of concern from Chicago journalists.

Since 2012, the Sun-Times has been owned by Wrapports, LLC, a company formerly run by Tronc chairman Michael Ferro. Tronc has signed a non-binding letter of intent to buy the Sun-Times and other assets including the Chicago Reader.
