This buyout offer represents a moral, business and civic failure by Tribune ownership. We should focus on building readership by investing in strong coverage, not cutting staff to satisfy short-term greed. Shame on Alden Global Capital, always.
This is the official bsky account for the Chicago Tribune Guild. We learned today that @chicagotribune.com is offering buyouts to our journalists. This move by Alden Global Capital, our rapacious ownership group, shows a total lack of vision and respect for the newsroom and the city we serve. (1/5)

As a paranormal investigator, Joe Nickell was in high demand, studying ghosts, the Loch Ness monster, crop circles and appearances of Jesus, including one on a tortilla.
Nickell solved hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of mysteries. He has died at 80.
