More Tribune Insanity: Randy Michaels - Posted August 1, 2008
TellZell has a few telling stories about Tribune Chief Operating Officer Randy Michaels. Not only is he an insensitive rube who mocks copy editors while they work (and makes exaggerated "sad faces" at them when reminded that 100 of them will soon be laid off), but he's apparently the kind of...

Tales of the Tribune Co.: It's All Gone Straight to Zell - Posted July 31, 2008
"If current trends in advertising are permanent, we have a really serious problem." No kidding. Words to live by from Sam Zell who may have met his Waterloo in the form the Tribune deal he orchestrated last year, which he is currently referring to as "the deal from hell."... [FishBowlNY]

Sam Zell Press Conference Roundup - Posted July 23, 2008
Tell Zell reports that after missing the Sam Zell/Randy Michaels press conference yesterday, he caught it and was unimpressed: The entire argument collapses on a single point. No newspaper is losing money. Each paper takes in more cash than it pays out. The problem is, they don't take in enough money to... [FishBowlLA]

Good morning Washington. Did you go to The Express' happy hour last night at The Greene Turtle?

Sam Zell Brings Hope, Leaves Sass At Home--But What About the Moosehead Joke - Posted February 26, 2008
Tribune Co. CEO Sam Zell visited the Newport News Daily Press newsroom yesterday and didn't say anything. Sure, he offered a vision of hope and all. But Barack Obama could have given them that. We're guessing the "D-Press" staff was hoping for a "fuck" here or a "tits" there, but, as... [FishBowlLA]
