Ex-Chicago Tribune editor James Squires warned in 1993 about the corporate takeover of America’s newspapers
Charlie Meyerson interviews
Aug 25 2021 • 0 seconds
Back in 1993, a former editor of the
Chicago Tribune
sounded an alarm about the growing conflict between the drive for corporate profits and traditional journalism’s social-reform agenda.
That was close to six years before
I joined the
Trib
and close to two decades before that trend inexorably led to
a gutting of the paper’s staff
.
As the paper welcomes
a new editor
, now seems like a good time to revisit
the words of Jim Squires, talking about his book
Read All About It! The Corporate Takeover of America’s Newspapers
—in an interview recorded Feb. 3, 1993, and aired Feb. 7 on WNUA-FM, Chicago.
