Jim Tyree, a Chicago businessman who is likely to be the new owner of the Chicago Sun-Times and Sun-Times Media Group, thinks he can make a buck or two in the newspaper business. The Chicago Tribune reported the story on October 11, 2009:

"Ever since Chicago financier Jim Tyree let it be known in May that he wanted to rescue the city's No. 2 newspaper company from certain collapse, even supporters have wondered.

Sun-Times Media Group Inc. had limped into a Delaware bankruptcy court on March 31 after bleeding hundreds of millions in cash since 2006.

It badly trailed its chief rival, the Chicago Tribune, by almost any competitive metric and was being sucked into the vortex of an industrywide implosion brought on by economic turmoil and the Internet.

If Tyree needed reminding of how badly a financial guru could stain his reputation by wandering into the media maelstrom, he could simply pick up the phone and call billionaire Sam Zell, who had steered the Tribune's parent, Tribune Co., into its own messy bankruptcy months earlier.

But Tyree, the 51-year-old chairman of Mesirow Financial Group and a prominent civic booster, was listening to his own logic.

"You look at the revenue here," he said at the time. "It's well over $200 million. You ought to be able to make money at that.""

Robert Novak, the political pundit and columnist, died on August 18, 2009 at the age of 78. The Chicago Sun-Times, for which Novak wrote for many years, reported:

"Chicago Sun-Times columnist Robert Novak, one of the nation's most influential journalists, who relished his "Prince of Darkness" public persona, died at home here early Tuesday morning after a battle with brain cancer.

"He was someone who loved being a journalist, love journalism and loved his country and loved his family, Novak's wife, Geraldine, told the Sun-Times on Tuesday.


"Bob was always the pro, no matter what he had going on he was always at the ready to help out on stories, and he broke more than his share. Even as he became a national figure he was always proud to be part of the Sun-Times and we were proud of him," said Don Hayner, Editor in Chief of the Chicago Sun-Times."

Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Greg Couch has left the newspaper to join the AOL Sports web site Fanhouse. He follows Sun-Times sports writer Jay Mariotti, who left for AOL last summer. The Chicago Tribune had this report on March 25, 2009:

"Sports columnist Greg Couch is leaving the Chicago Sun-Times after a dozen years to cover golf, tennis and college football and basketball for AOL's FanHouse.com site.

AOL Sports earlier signed former Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti, who resigned last summer after returning from the Beijing Olympics with complaints about the paper's Internet efforts. Couch was the other half of the Sun-Times contingent in China to cover the Games.

Although Couch tendered his resignation Tuesday, Sun-Times Sports Editor Stu Courtney said Wednesday he did not know when Couch's last day at the paper would be. Couch said the Sun-Times was still planning to send him to cover the NCAA men's basketball regional in Indianapolis later this week, leaving his AOL start date up in the air.

"I just wanted to start playing offense," Couch said. "All newspapers, not just the Sun-Times, you're playing defense, you're hanging on for dear life. AOL seems to have found their niche, and they're thinking big. ... I just wanted to go with someone who was trying to grow rather than just trying to hang on."
