Chicago, IL -- The Chicago City Council passed a resolution today urging The Tribune Company to sell their newspapers to local investors in the cities in which they are located.<\/p>
\"The sale of the Chicago Tribune affects everyone in Chicago and it is our duty as the elected officials closest to the people to do everything we can to ensure that the sale of the Tribune is in the public interest. The Trib should not be owned by a major corporation outside of Illinois that prioritizes profits and political ideologies over accurate, impartial, and non-ideological reporting\" said Alderman Joe Moore (49th) who was the key sponsor of the resolution.<\/p>

Common Cause applauds the Chicago City Council for passing this resolution and taking a stand against large corporate interests trying to purchase our democracy. But we cannot stop here. We ask the City of Chicago to do whatever is within their power to ensure that the Chicago Tribune and the other Tribune owned papers continue to produce accurate, non-partisan, and investigative reporting. We ask that the City of Chicago works with Common Cause to stop the control that big money has on our politics and the control that money has on our local media for the sake of every Chicagoan and every American.\"<\/p> Common Cause l\u00e0 m\u1ed9t t\u1ed5 ch\u1ee9c phi \u0111\u1ea3ng ph\u00e1i, c\u01a1 s\u1edf, chuy\u00ean kh\u00f4i ph\u1ee5c c\u00e1c gi\u00e1 tr\u1ecb c\u1ed1t l\u00f5i c\u1ee7a n\u1ec1n d\u00e2n ch\u1ee7 Hoa K\u1ef3, t\u00e1i thi\u1ebft m\u1ed9t ch\u00ednh ph\u1ee7 c\u1edfi m\u1edf, trung th\u1ef1c v\u00e0 c\u00f3 tr\u00e1ch nhi\u1ec7m, ho\u1ea1t \u0111\u1ed9ng v\u00ec l\u1ee3i \u00edch c\u00f4ng c\u1ed9ng v\u00e0 trao quy\u1ec1n cho ng\u01b0\u1eddi d\u00e2n b\u00ecnh th\u01b0\u1eddng l\u00ean ti\u1ebfng.<\/em><\/p> ---<\/p> Ngh\u1ecb quy\u1ebft th\u00fac gi\u1ee5c C\u00f4ng ty Chicago Tribune b\u00e1n T\u1ea1p ch\u00ed Chicago Tribune<\/em> to Locally-Based Ownership that will Maintain the Newspaper's Commitment to Fair, Impartial and Non-Ideological Reporting<\/strong><\/p> TRONG KHI,<\/strong> C\u00e1c T\u1ea1p ch\u00ed Chicago Tribune<\/em> l\u00e0 m\u1ed9t th\u1ebf l\u1ef1c l\u1edbn trong ng\u00e0nh b\u00e1o ch\u00ed Chicago k\u1ec3 t\u1eeb khi th\u00e0nh l\u1eadp n\u0103m 1847 v\u00e0 hi\u1ec7n l\u00e0 t\u1edd b\u00e1o c\u00f3 l\u01b0\u1ee3ng ph\u00e1t h\u00e0nh l\u1edbn th\u1ee9 t\u00e1m t\u1ea1i Hoa K\u1ef3;
