And so, the end is near

Tribune will close by the end of the month unless somebody steps in to buy it. Gauche has more details here. It seems that the trade unions have finally decided to pull the plug on Tribune, after several years of fractious support. Whether an independent publishers will decide to buy the title at the last minute is anyone's guess, although given the current state of the banking system, much depends on whether anyone can come up with enough credit to buy it. More in-depth ruminations this evening - for now, suffice it to say that my thoughts are with those whose jobs could very well be lost by the end of the month.
