Guess the stupid tronc name wasn’t actually the worst thing Michael Ferro did to Chicago journalism after all. xitter.cf/royalpratt/status/1397…
Tribune Publishing CEO Terry Jimenez has been ousted after Alden Global Capital took ownership of our company. He voted against the Alden deal.
The @chicagotribune we ditched the stupid Tronc name Ferro gave us but still print Kass’s hottest takes. 🤷‍♂️

10yrs ago while covering a story, Stroger Hospital police famously arrested me. My call to the @suntimes, from a hospital basement holding cell, was taken by @dahaar. As I breathlessly explained what happened, he had 1 question – 1/2
We're sad to say goodbye to our own @dahaar, an editor with more than 40 years of journalism experience. Behind the scenes, his steady hand molded countless breaking news and criminal justice stories. He'll be missed, particularly by the many colleagues who count him as a friend.

Michael Ferro “retiring” as tronc chairman with a my-work-here-is-done statement doesn’t add up. What’s the rest of the story? nasdaq.com/press-release/jus…

The big brains that forgot to lock down this handle before announcing “tronc” lays off news staff again? That’s dumber than “Pivot to video”
