Chicago Tribune Reports Readership, Circulation Results

CHICAGO, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --

Weekly readership of the Chicago Tribune and its related print and interactive media properties stands at a high of more than 5.5 million Chicagoland adults, according to information released today to coincide with the newspaper's semi-annual statement of paid circulation. This represents more than three-quarters of adults in the seven-county market.*


For the 26 weeks ending March 30, 2008, the Tribune reported Sunday total average paid circulation of 898,703 and daily circulation (Monday - Friday) of 541,663, as filed with the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Although these figures represent decreases in paid copies both daily and Sunday, increases at the Tribune's free RedEye edition created growth in total audited copies and print readership.


Chicago Tribune Interactive's traffic also continues to grow, with monthly page views at its three principal Web sites -- chicagotribune.com, metromix.com, and ChicagoSports.com -- up more than 25 percent so far this year.


"We are proud of the fact that in today's intensely competitive media environment, we have grown both our print and online audiences," said Scott Smith, president, publisher, and CEO of Chicago Tribune Media Group. "We continue to deliver the largest and most engaged readership across Chicagoland."


Results like these are driven in part by strong public service journalism like the "Hidden Hazards" series that won the newspaper the Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism earlier this month, for stories that brought national attention to faulty government regulation of dangerously defective toys, cribs and car seats. It was the Tribune's 25th Pulitzer Prize.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

Image
A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
