Newspapers in Chicago are on a level of importance in the minds of many people as is the wind, Michigan Avenue, Lake Michigan, the Cubs, the Whitesox, the Bears, the Loop, the El, Marshall Field, and many other cultural and historical landmarks and items of significance and noteworthiness. Sadly, the best days for Chicago's two remaining significant newspapers are seemingly over. Circulation is done markedly as with newspapers everywhere, and years of mismanagement and evident corruption by ownership has left the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times teetering in the direction of extinction for at least one of the papers with a continued serious decline in content as well as journalistic independence and investigative journalism for the surviving paper. Chicago looks to be moving towards being a one newspaper city like virtually everywhere else.http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/77102/
