	City News Bureau of Chicago: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		City News Bureau of Chicago, or City Press, was one of the first cooperative news agencies in the United States.
		It was founded in the late 19th century by the newspapers of Chicago to provide a common source of local and breaking news and also used by them as a training ground for new reporters.
		The City News Bureau had special operations for covering elections in Chicago and Cook County, providing regular updates precinct by precinct years before such coverage was common.

	deseretnews.com \| Legendary news service in Chicago ending its run (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		CHICAGO — This may be the quintessential City News story: An editor orders a reporter to find a way into the house of a missing girl and says he doesn't care if the guy has to set the place on fire to do it.
		At the end of this month, the news service that spawned those stories and countless others — not to mention the axiom "If your mother tells you she loves you, check it out" — is set to shut down.
		City News was the kind of tough place that former staffers like Vonnegut talk about the way military veterans talk about boot camp.

	City News Bureau of Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PR Newswire, which was part of City News was sold; the Sun-Times decided it cost too much to keep City News running, and it was closed after its last dispatch February 28, 1999.
		Though the Tribune had been hailed by former City Newsers as a savior of CNB, on Dec. 1, 2005, the Tribune informed the 19 employees of City News Service that their jobs were being eliminated as part of cost-cutting measures going on throughout the Tribune Company.
		City News lives on, in spirit, at least, at the Sun-Times.

		City News shut down in 1999, when it was jointly owned by the Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times.
		City News reporters and editors will receive severance packages, and some may be offered other jobs at the Tribune.
		Vonnegut's City News was not much different from the City News that closed its doors in 1999, only to be relaunched in a scaled-down form by the Tribune that same year.

		The history of City News is filled with tales of earnest young men (and later - much, much later - women) who passed through on their way to remarkable careers, some of them in journalism.
		Not many people outside the news trade know of City News, though anyone who has ever read or seen the play "The Front Page" will understand what the place was like: gritty, brutal, brawling and not for those with a weak stomach, a fragile liver or haughty pretensions.
		Decades after leaving City News, a hard-bitten reporter who has gone on to cover wars and the White House says the memory of Zimbrakos on the other end of the telephone saying, "Uh, Ellen," still makes the hair on her arms stand up in terrified anticipation of what would come next.

	City News Bureau of Chicago
		[Actually, it was still widely used by both Chicago-based newspapers, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times until the Sun-Times decided to pull out of the joint ownership agreement it had inherited from some the City News Bureau's original owners, for which the Sun-Times was a successor paper.
		The PR Newswire, which was part of City News [see above], was sold; the Sun-Times decided it cost too much to keep City News running, and it was closed after its last dispatch February 28, 1999.
		The Sun-Times, however, was barred from receiving the New City News Service wire because of its being in competition with the Tribune, and to this day at times misses notice of news events because it has been unable to replace the sought-after City News daybook, which lists items such as daily court activity.]

		But the end of City News, which admittedly is much less now than it once was, has provided a chance for alumni like Eggleston to recall the fun that drew so many young people to reporting in the first place.
		The kids at City News chased crime and fires and their stories were distributed to media across the city.
		City News was all about accuracy -- "if your mother says she loves you, check it out" -- and in at least one instance, this resulted in a timid lead on an explosive story.

		In addition to two companies that previously announced their intent to provide local news to Chicago's newsrooms, one of City News' co-owners, the Chicago Tribune, has announced plans to create its own in-house news service, offering the product to other broadcast outlets effective March 1, the day City News is scheduled to die.
		Chicago Tribune "Media Talk" columnist Jim Kirk on Feb. 10 quoted Tribune sources as saying that the paper has discussed providing a service that would include many of the services now provided by City News, including a "day book" list of court cases and other public events.
		Kirk reported that the Tribune would operate the service from its news room, staffing it with City News veterans and sharing the product with its corporate siblings, WGN-Radio 720, WGN-Channel 9 and the CLTV all-news cable channel, but not with its direct print competition – such as its City News co-owner, the Chicago Sun-Times.

		Paul Zimbrakos, bureau chief of New City News, as it's now known, and a 47-year veteran, says the closing means a less-informed public because the service examined each violent death and court case daily in the third most-populous U.S. city for various outlets.
		The bureau, a journalism boot camp, is known for coining a maxim to encourage skepticism in young reporters: "If your mother says she loves you, check it out," which Zimbrakos credits to former City News editor Edward Eulenberg.
		The service was renamed City News Bureau in 1910 and carried the name until 1999, when the Chicago Sun-Times ended its annual $250,000 contribution, and the only other owning paper, the Chicago Tribune, took over the service under the name New City News.
