Eddy Hartenstein to Tribune Employees
From: Tribune Communications
Subject: Message from Eddy Hartenstein/Tribune Emergence from Chapter 11
Colleagues—
Tonight we issued the attached press release, announcing that Tribune will successfully emerge from the Chapter 11 reorganization process tomorrow, Dec. 31, 2012. The restructuring plan approved last July by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware will become effective at that time.
Tribune will emerge as a dynamic multi-media company with a great mix of profitable assets, powerful brands in major markets, sufficient liquidity for operations and investments and significantly less debt. In short, Tribune is far stronger than it was when we began the Chapter 11 process four years ago and, given the budget planning we’ve done, the company is well-positioned for success in 2013.
The press release also contains details about Tribune’s new Board of Directors, which will convene in the next several weeks, at which time it will define the roles of its members, its committee structure, and designate and ratify the company’s executive officers.
You can find additional information regarding our emergence and some Q&A related to employees on TribLink.
Once again, I want to thank you for your talent, effort and focus these last four years—I know it has been a challenging period. Throughout it all, you have been resilient, dedicated to serving the company, our customers and your fellow employees. You are what sets Tribune apart from our competitors.
Now, let’s get the new year off to a strong start. There is a lot of opportunity ahead.

The Sun Never Sets Trailer
Smithsonian Magazine once asked the rhetorical question, “Can a weekly paper in rural New Mexico raise enough hell to keep its readers hungry for more, week after week?
The Rio Grande Sun, published in Española, NM, is considered one of the best weekly newspapers in the country. Bob Trapp, the Sun‘s founder, editor, and publisher, is the quintessential newspaperman—the last of a vanishing breed—a scrupulously honest, fearless, independent journalist, and a mentor to generations of young reporters.
The Sun is known for investigative reporting. The paper broke the story that its own rural community had the highest per capita heroin overdose rate in the country. It has led the fight for open records and open meetings in a county where political shenanigans are the rule.
The film follows the Sun’s reporters and editors as they write about the news, sports, arts and cultures of a large rural county. John Burnett, a National Public Radio correspondent, reports on the Sun‘s Police Blotter—“the best in the country.” The Sun‘s journalists investigate the largest embezzlement in the state’s history, and the widespread use of tranquilizers in the county jail.
“The Sun Never Sets” is narrated by Bob Edwards, National Radio Hall of Fame and Peabody award-winning news anchor and radio host. It is an official selection of the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival and the Ojai Film Festival, and will be screened at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.

#SOLIDARITY! from our friend Kim A: "This is my take as a union member on the Right to Work propaganda being just forced down the throats of Michigan workers:
Gee, if you've bought into this lie you must have forgotten the people who fought and died to give others a five day work week, guaranteed health/ pension benefits, safe work places, paid days off, child labor laws to name a few! Fact check that! While you're at it look at the living conditions of workers in the 20 plus states that have right to work laws and you'll find that those workers have lower wages, less benefits and collect more in government aid than other states! Stop being a "sheep" for the corporations and wake up! The more RTW states we have the more corporate profits go up, workers standard of living go down and burden on tax payers increase. Ignorance isn't bliss-at least not for those with a brain! :)"

Our friend Eddie Santos, a former pressman at the Los Angeles Times, has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and needs our prayers to battle this fight for his life. A happy go lucky spirit Eddie is easy to have a great time with and always gives a smile at anyone that crosses his path.
And remember a silent prayer is answered with a silent response, so verbalize your prayers out loud for Eddie.
