 Illinois Appellate Court Upholds Ruling Against Tribune Company In Its Subsidiary's Pollution Claim-Lord Bissell & ...
The original ruling found that Tribune and Sentinel, publisher of the Orlando Sentinel newspaper, were not entitled to indemnification from insurers for pollution clean up and other costs because Tribune expected the TCE pollution to result from its activities.
The appellate court stated: “Tribune dumped TCE into a drain for untreated release into the environment, knowing that TCE was a hazardous chemical requiring careful disposal.” The court added that the inevitable consequence of Tribune’s dumping was pollution of the environment.
Both the trial and appellate courts concluded that the groundwater pollution in Orlando was a consequence of Tribune’s lack of concern for damage to the environment caused by its disposal practices.

 Salon Media | The return of the dead-tree media   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Analysts are comparing the merger of Times Mirror and the Tribune Company to AOL-Time Warner, but the combined company looks more like an industrial age holdout than a 21st century media giant.
The initial gagging reaction of Tribune investors resulted in part from their perception of the merger as a move away from the company's Internet strategy, which has been more aggressive than that of most newspaper companies.
So despite all the misgivings of the affected reporters out there, the Tribune Company (as the merged entity will be known) could be more than one of the nation's largest newspaper companies.
