For 25 years I've risked my life and worked my tail off to advance the civic mission of the @chicagotribune newsroom - and watched a string of executives sop up and squander the coins readers pay for our work:

Startups, Deals, Parties And Pals: Will News Exec Levinsohn Repeat The Past?

Ross Levinsohn's strategy for his company's newspapers would serve up more digital content from outside their newsrooms under their brands. He calls the vision "gravitas with scale."
