Is it just a sign of the Times?
 As if we need another sign of the times regarding the state of the newspaper industry, the Tribune Co., owner of a few of the country’s most venerable journalistic flagships, announced this week that it was putting two of its most historic properties up for sale. The Los Angeles Times building and the Tribune Tower in Chicago — among the most iconic newspaper buildings in the nation — are on the block, allegedly because they are “underutilized.” Could that be because there are so many fewer journalists working there? When the San Francisco Chronicle building was put up for sale last year, people yawned. But the Tribune Tower is one of the reasons why Chicago is considered the country’s cradle of architecture and the Times building, with its giant globe, is a fixture of L.A.’s so-called downtown. Call it all the news that’s fit to print — somewhere else. |
