Description

On Saturday, the Chicago News Guild is hosting a rally to “Save Local News,” particularly the Chicago Tribune. The paper’s parent company is facing a takeover by Alden Global Capital, which has a reputation for gutting the newspapers it buys. Guild President and Sun-Times reporter Andy Grimm explains why he thinks the deal is bad for Chicago. And we hear from Tribune reporter and guild organizer Louisa Chu about her perspective from the newsroom.

Guests: Andy Grimm, Courts reporter, Chicago Sun-Times (@agrimm34)
Louisa Chu, Food and Dining reporter, Chicago Tribune (@louisachu)
