Great video. We were cheering him on here at the Tribune Tower. woot! I'm glad you posted this. The man has a great passion. I'd like to see him as president of our country.

Such a wise, insightful comment, Tumblehome. You have made me reconsider my previous position.

"Newspapers are dying, I hope this guy loses his denim shirt." Newspapers are dying--that is, print as a delivery method is losing popularity that will likely never come back. But I find it odd you hope Zell loses his shirt. If he loses, that means the Trib tanks--print, Web, TV, radio. If the Trib tanks, Chicago loses--fewer investigations of city corruption, for instance, a situation made worse by the decline of the Sun Times. I hope Zell finds a way to make the Web paper profitable while still finding a niche for, and money from, the print. And I hope all news organizations find a way out. If they don't, all citizens are screwed.

Cliffs Notes...lots of swearing and hand waving by Zell...c-words, f-words, any words that illicit gasps or audible responses. Then he gives everyone a head start of 10 minutes before he puts his hunting gear on and begins tracking them down like they're game. Newspapers are dying, I hope this guy loses his denim shirt.

Um, instead of linking to a 60 minute video, can you give us the cliff notes?

After listening to Sam Zell I wish I worked for the Tribne Co. That man is a god-damned genius.
