So this chapter ends, but another always begins. Remember you all are the
guardians of the truth, what you have and will accomplish can never be taken
away.

To all,
To be on Page One and out on the sidewalk the same day means I'll have another memorable story about life at the Tribune.
There are still a lot of good people at the Tribune, and the best of luck to all of you.

So long,
It's only been 16 months and I don't know many of you, but I will miss the Tribune and being part of this great journalistic icon. But I gotta say, it sucks being downsized.

I was looking forward to earning my 20-year pin in about 6 months, but alas:

Who have been family for nearly 20 years, especially those on the copy desk and in the DuPage bureau, take care. And remember who you are: the world's greatest journalists and the finest human beings I've ever known. God bless.

It's been a long, exhilarating and wonderful ride these 39-plus years. I just wish it could have gone on a little longer. It was truly a privilege and an honor to work with the best group of journalists on the planet and to have had the opportunity to report, write, contribute to and/or edit some of the most significant news stories of the last four decades. To those who remain, the future of journalism and its continuing role as one of the pillars of American democracy rests in your hands. Guard it well. I wish all of you the best.
Farewell,

what a depressing day.
LOL!! Zell isn't going nowhere until he is finished gutting the old time newspapers. Enjoy your future loooooong relationship with the grave dancer!!!!! I got out while the getting was good.
"Hartenstein said he also sought assurances that Zell had no intention to simply "dress up the paper for a sale."
"One of the questions I asked Sam was: Are you going to keep this?" Hartenstein said. The answer "was a strong, affirmative 'Yes. This is a keeper.' ""

good luck to all those leaving, and all those remaining!

That's very compassionate of you, bragging about how "smart" you were to jump ship first. And so, now what? Are you lighting up the world of public relations?
Gai kakhen afenyam!
"LOL"?
Really?
A lot of my friends were those who thrown out on the street. They're some of the hardest-working, decent people I know. And even though I'm one of those who volunteered for the layoff, I'm more upset about them than I am about my own situation.
I sure hope you're not passing along those compassionate values to a child.
Karma's a bitch, tool. I hope you end up slinging fast food.
