 Chicago Reader: Hot Type
But Ann Landers was huge long before the Tribune took her in; the Tribune was just a place for Lederer to hang her hat.
For the price of Ann Landers he offered them a package of three features: Annie's Mailbox, a daily advice column written by Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, who'd each worked for Lederer more than 25 years; Dear Prudence, a biweekly advice column written by Lederer's daughter, Margo Howard; and a weekly "classic" Ann Landers rerun.
The fifth brought the passage that so moved Seth Mnookin, Ann Marie Lipinski's description of the Tribune's "painful loss" and decision to fill the "void." Further along was a reference to the other 1,200 newspapers that carried Ann Landers, and it wasn't quite made clear that "Ask Amy" won't start out in any of them.
