Gracias por la oportunidad de brindarles hoy mi testimonio sobre la importancia de los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n locales que preservan la integridad de la informaci\u00f3n precisa, no partidista e investigativa.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Mi nombre es Brian Gladstein y pertenezco a Common Cause Illinois. Somos una organizaci\u00f3n de base no partidista dedicada a restaurar los valores fundamentales de la democracia estadounidense, reinventar un gobierno abierto, honesto y responsable que trabaje en pos del inter\u00e9s p\u00fablico y empoderar a la gente com\u00fan para que haga o\u00edr su voz. Contamos con 400.000 miembros a nivel nacional y 3.000 miembros activos aqu\u00ed mismo en Illinois.<\/small><\/p><p><small>La enorme cantidad de dinero que se gasta en nuestras elecciones con la intenci\u00f3n de influir en las pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas ha alcanzado un m\u00e1ximo hist\u00f3rico. Un ejemplo de ello son los m\u00e1s de 2.000 millones de d\u00f3lares que se gastaron durante la carrera presidencial del a\u00f1o pasado entre Barack Obama y Mitt Romney.<\/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>Los ojos de la naci\u00f3n est\u00e1n puestos sobre nosotros. El mes pasado reunimos una petici\u00f3n con 500.000 firmas en contra de la compra de los peri\u00f3dicos Tribune por parte de los hermanos Koch. Mientras tanto, en tan s\u00f3lo las dos \u00faltimas semanas, m\u00e1s de 500 habitantes de Chicago han prometido su apoyo a la resoluci\u00f3n que tienen ante ustedes hoy.<\/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>La propiedad local ayuda a garantizar que el peri\u00f3dico contin\u00fae mostrando un profundo conocimiento de los aspectos pol\u00edticos, comerciales y culturales de nuestra ciudad y siga siendo responsable ante sus residentes.<\/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>La oferta de los hermanos Koch para comprar los peri\u00f3dicos Tribune contradice mucho de lo que el Chicago Tribune ha proporcionado a nuestra gran ciudad. Aqu\u00ed hay una lista <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seiu.org\/2013\/06\/top-10-reasons-to-stop-the-koch-brothers-from-buyi.php\" target=\"_blank\">proporcionado por 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>Ataque a los inmigrantes.
