LA Times, Chicago Tribune merge foreign operations
With their parent company in bankruptcy, the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune have announced plans to combine their foreign reporting operations. The editors of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, which are owned by the Chicago-based Tribune Co., made the announcement in separate memos to their staffs on Tuesday. Chicago Tribune editor Gerould Kern said the joint operation will be 'run from Los Angeles, where most of the foreign reporting and editing staff is based.' The editors did not provide details about the reorganization but Kern said 'the foreign operation will consist of correspondents placed strategically around the globe, including some from the Chicago Tribune.' The Chicago Tribune currently has reporters in five cities abroad -- Beirut, Islamabad, London, Mexico City and Moscow - while the Los Angeles Times has 15 - circling the globe from Baghdad to London to Seoul.
