Tribune to shut legendary City News service due to Internet
The Chicago Tribune will shut its legendary New City News Service as of Jan. 1 and fold many of its news gathering activities into its own 24-hour Internet news operation. Nineteen positions will be cut, and 13 new ones created at the Web operation.
"Our competitors were taking stuff off the City News wire and putting it on their Web sites," said James E. O'Shea, the Tribune's managing editor. "In a competitive world, where we need to be much more competitive on the Web, we felt we had to retool our operations and serve Chicago Tribune readers."
