Juni 2013 nahmen Mitarbeiter und Unterst\u00fctzer von Common Cause Illinois an einer Sitzung des Ausschusses f\u00fcr Humanbeziehungen des Stadtrats von Chicago teil, bei der eine Resolution von Alderman Joe Moore (49. Bezirk) er\u00f6rtert wurde, in der die Tribune Company aufgefordert wurde, ihre Zeitungen an lokale Investoren in den St\u00e4dten zu verkaufen, in denen sie ans\u00e4ssig sind.<\/p><p><small>Brian Gladstein, Common Cause Illinois Director of Programs and Strategy, gave the following testimony in support of \/Alderman Moore's resolution to the committee.<\/small><\/p><p><small>______________________________________________<\/small><\/p><p><small>Guten Morgen. Vielen Dank f\u00fcr die Gelegenheit, Ihnen heute die Bedeutung lokaler Medien vor Augen zu f\u00fchren, die die Integrit\u00e4t einer genauen, unparteiischen und investigativen Berichterstattung wahren.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Mein Name ist Brian Gladstein von Common Cause Illinois. Wir sind eine \u00fcberparteiliche Basisorganisation, die sich der Wiederherstellung der Grundwerte der amerikanischen Demokratie verschrieben hat, der Neugestaltung einer offenen, ehrlichen und rechenschaftspflichtigen Regierung, die im \u00f6ffentlichen Interesse arbeitet, und der Erm\u00e4chtigung der einfachen Leute, ihre Stimme zu erheben. Wir haben landesweit 400.000 Mitglieder und 3.000 aktive Mitglieder hier in Illinois.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Die exorbitanten Geldbetr\u00e4ge, die f\u00fcr unsere Wahlen ausgegeben werden, um damit die \u00f6ffentliche Politik zu beeinflussen, haben einen historischen H\u00f6chststand erreicht. Ein typisches Beispiel: Im Pr\u00e4sidentschaftswahlkampf im letzten Jahr zwischen Barack Obama und Mitt Romney wurden \u00fcber 2 Milliarden Dollar ausgegeben.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Now, some of the biggest political contributors and owners of the second largest privately owned company in the United States are trying to buy the Chicago Tribune to advance their own personal and corporate ideology. Koch Industries wants to purchase the Tribune's nine daily newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Baltimore Sun, The Orlando Sentinel, and The Hartford Courant.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Die Augen der Nation sind auf uns gerichtet. Letzten Monat haben wir eine Petition mit 500.000 Unterschriften gegen den Kauf der Tribune-Zeitungen an die Koch-Br\u00fcder gesammelt. Inzwischen haben allein in den letzten zwei Wochen \u00fcber 500 Chicagoer ihre Unterst\u00fctzung f\u00fcr die Resolution zugesagt, die Ihnen heute vorliegt.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Common Cause is concerned what a move like this will do to the important role that journalism has in our great city. The Chicago Tribune has been a major force in Chicago journalism since its' founding in 1847 and currently is the eighth largest newspaper in the United States by circulation. The Chicago Tribune has a long history of local ownership and management, which has produced decades of high-quality news coverage, resulting in 25 Pulitzer Prizes. The Chicago Tribune plays a vital role informing the public through unbiased accounts of the news of the day and aggressive investigative journalism.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Durch die lokale Eigent\u00fcmerschaft wird sichergestellt, dass die Zeitung auch weiterhin ein ausgepr\u00e4gtes Verst\u00e4ndnis f\u00fcr die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Aspekte unserer Stadt zeigt und ihren B\u00fcrgern gegen\u00fcber verantwortlich bleibt.<\/small><\/p><p><small>But if we allow one purchaser such as the Koch Brothers to purchase all nine of the Tribune Company's newspapers it could create an informational monopoly where profits outweigh journalistic integrity and open the door to ideological bias.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Das Angebot der Koch-Br\u00fcder, die Tribune-Zeitungen zu kaufen, steht im Widerspruch zu vielem, was die Chicago Tribune unserer gro\u00dfartigen Stadt geboten hat. Hier ist eine Liste <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seiu.org\/2013\/06\/top-10-reasons-to-stop-the-koch-brothers-from-buyi.php\" target=\"_blank\">bereitgestellt von SEIU<\/a> of the 10 reasons of why we think that the city must not only pass this resolution but do whatever it possibly can do stop the Koch's from buying the Tribune Papers.<\/small><\/p><li><small>Angriffe auf Einwanderer.
