Negative Positive
Title: Gold Standard for history of the Large Daily
Review: A bit daunting in it's girth at over 800 pages, but well worth the journey. Persevere through the first chapters; it picks up steam as you enter and careen through the 20th century. Nearing the end of the book, you may experience some of the anguish Trib staffers and owner Jock Whitney felt as they watched the paper's demise. Kluger was the right person for the job in documenting the Trib's long and colorful life. His writing is entertaining, factual and witty...valuable to anyone "connected to" or "interested in" the profession. Poignant to read in 2009 as we witness the very disappearance of print media and the large "dailies".
