Je vous remercie de m\u2019avoir donn\u00e9 l\u2019occasion de t\u00e9moigner aujourd\u2019hui de l\u2019importance des m\u00e9dias locaux qui pr\u00e9servent l\u2019int\u00e9grit\u00e9 de reportages pr\u00e9cis, non partisans et d\u2019investigation.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Je m&#039;appelle Brian Gladstein et je travaille pour Common Cause Illinois. Nous sommes une organisation non partisane et populaire qui se consacre \u00e0 la restauration des valeurs fondamentales de la d\u00e9mocratie am\u00e9ricaine, \u00e0 la r\u00e9invention d&#039;un gouvernement ouvert, honn\u00eate et responsable qui \u0153uvre pour l&#039;int\u00e9r\u00eat public et \u00e0 la responsabilisation des citoyens ordinaires pour qu&#039;ils puissent faire entendre leur voix. Nous comptons 400 000 membres \u00e0 l&#039;\u00e9chelle nationale et 3 000 membres actifs ici m\u00eame dans l&#039;Illinois.<\/small><\/p><p><small>Les sommes exorbitantes d\u00e9pens\u00e9es pour nos \u00e9lections dans le but d\u2019influer sur les politiques publiques ont atteint un niveau historiquement \u00e9lev\u00e9. Par exemple, plus de 2 milliards de dollars ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pens\u00e9s lors de la campagne pr\u00e9sidentielle de l\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re entre Barack Obama et 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>Les yeux de la nation sont braqu\u00e9s sur nous. Le mois dernier, nous avons recueilli une p\u00e9tition de 500 000 signatures s&#039;opposant \u00e0 l&#039;achat des journaux Tribune par les fr\u00e8res Koch. Entre-temps, au cours des deux derni\u00e8res semaines seulement, plus de 500 habitants de Chicago ont apport\u00e9 leur soutien \u00e0 la r\u00e9solution qui vous est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e aujourd&#039;hui.<\/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 propri\u00e9t\u00e9 locale contribue \u00e0 garantir que le journal continuera \u00e0 faire preuve d\u2019une bonne compr\u00e9hension des aspects politiques, commerciaux et culturels de notre ville et \u00e0 rester responsable envers ses r\u00e9sidents.<\/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>L&#039;offre des fr\u00e8res Koch pour acheter les journaux du Tribune contredit en grande partie ce que le Chicago Tribune a apport\u00e9 \u00e0 notre grande ville.
