AND JUST SO YOU KNOW: Should we fall short of our goal of $660 Million your contribution will be fully reimbursed. You'll get back every penny.
This is an experiment. To see if we can turn the tide of corporate media ownership, or at least shine a light on it.
So Here's The Scoop:
The Tribune Company which houses the Los Angeles Times, The Balitimore Sun and The Chicago Tribune (along with many other local newspapers) is up for sale!
The Bad News: The only people who are bidding on it right now are infamous right-wing Billionaires, who are likely to pay something around a $660 Million pricetag to control a big slice of trusted news media.
