Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I had to laugh the other day when I read the article on the general decline in circulation numbers among the big-city daily newspapers (“Tribune, Sun-Times sell fewer papers,” Business, Nov. 4). I wonder if your reporter would have been as quick to dismiss the numbers as unimportant if the Tribune had led the way in circulation increase instead of circulation decline.
I think one area of concern is the nature of the foreign reporting. Almost every day we are treated to a barrage of stories about less-developed nations and Third World backwaters. Western Europe might as well have fallen off the map.
Perhaps the Tribune could increase its readership if it published editions in Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi.
