Why is it so Glen Ellyn, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jun 10, 2009 So, why is it that the Chicago Defender can successfully charge for online content but the Tribune and Sun Times don't? Does the Defender provide something of value to their readers while the Trib and Times do not?
William E Birmingham, AL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jun 10, 2009 The report counts frequencies of several "keywords," most of which are phrases ("toxic waste," "air pollution"). This seem an arbitrary and narrow way to measure news coverage. Just today, for example, the Tribune runs a story headlined "State officials to hold air-monitoring hearing." This story does NOT use the word "pollution." Another story running today, "Madigan: Crestwood lied about tainted well," does NOT use the word "toxic." According to the measures used in the report, the Tribune today provided no coverage of air pollution or toxic waste. Shame on you.
William E Birmingham, AL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jun 10, 2009 Oops, I meant to say that "Madigan: Crestwood lied about tainted well" never uses the word "waste" (its says "toxic" plenty of times.)
Cindy Los Angeles, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jun 10, 2009 Phil, Great insights once again on the world of media. Glad you are back at work and I'm sorry to hear you were sick. Love your columns.
carol loven San Antonio, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jun 10, 2009 Frankly, I prefer Fox News Network above all the rest. On Line, the Trib comes in first... only because I was weaned on the Trib.
Mary Westchester, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Jun 10, 2009 I very rarely watch television news, do subscribe to Tribune Daywatch and BizWrap, read the Tribune on my Kindle electronic book reader every day, read Slate and Newsweek on it, too, as well as the NY Times breaking news. And I read lots of tech news wherever it appears.
