Chicago Tribune staffers begging for new owners

The mainstream media has no sense of dignity. If you don't like your job, quit. If your industry is fading away, find a new field.

You are not owed a living.

Oh, note the editorializing in the third paragraph. Yet the article I excerpted from was not labeled as "opinion."

From CNN Business:
Reporters at the Chicago Tribune are trying to find a new owner for their newspaper.

They’re doing it because they’re afraid of Alden Global Capital’s plans for all of the papers owned by Tribune Publishing.

Alden, a New York-based hedge fund, recently became the largest shareholder in the struggling publishing company. Alden has a terrible reputation in the newspaper industry due to its history of slashing jobs and sucking up short-term profits from other papers it controls.

“We’re doing everything in our power to try to stop them,” Gary Marx, a 31-year veteran of the Chicago Tribune, told CNN Business.
If you feel compelled to get your message out--start a blog. It's not that hard to do.
