thanks for the fine detailed piece on history Chicago papers. I grew up with the Tribune-we had it delivered. My Dad took the train downtown to work and he bought a paper on his way down, tossed it and bought the Daily News at some point and bought the evening edition on his way home and sometimes brought it home. I was much older when I realized who read which newspaper and why. While I always dislike and disagreed with the conservative voice of the Tribune, I always liked the coverage of cultural events in the city and later enjoyed many of the less than conservative voices of other writers. Thanks again, I plan to reread the piece later.

So glad you enjoyed it, especially since you know the papers so well.

One mistake: When Royko's column first ran, it was on the next to the last page of Section 1 of the Daily News.

Thank you for pointing that out. I've mentioned that elsewhere, but kind of glossed over it here because he moved to page 3 so quickly (May 1966). But I will puzzle over this section and adjust. I definitely prefer to be precise. Thanks again!
