Tribune Co. Deal Promises Change

Here's one of those stories that will probably have an effect on comics in some way, but in what exact manner no one as yet knows. The Tribune Company has accepted an $8.2 billion buyout offer from real estate baron and apparently quirky personality Sam Zell. This puts into conjectural play its comics-related media holdings as well as any and all strategies by media entities that have a relationship to comics. This includes major newspapers that purchase comics, its syndicate-held comics, and any editorial cartoonist that works on any of those papers. What seems likely to me in a making wild guesses while holding a cup of coffee way is that you might see some editorial cartoonist changes as an overall culture of cost-cutting hits the papers in question.
