Turning tables in Chicago

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley yesterday accused the Chicago Tribune and its parent company of "hid[ing] the news" that chunks of concrete have been falling off Wrigley Field, narrowly missing several fans. Wrigley is the home of the Chicago Cubs, which are owned by Tribune Company. A Tribune representative said that "[w]e report on the Chicago Tribune and Tribune Co. just as vigorously as we report on anything else[,]" but this story in today's Tribune buried the mayor's charges amid several other goings-on at City Hall.

I recently discussed the Tribune's efforts to cover itself here.
