Trib Has to Print More Papers

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Nov 5, 2008 7:45PM

As Chicagoans rush out to get that commemorative front page, the Chicago Tribune is printing an additional 200,000 copies that will be distributed at 7-11 stores throughout the city. Many places are running out of copies as residents get their own to mark the historic election of Illinois Senator Barack Obama. The need for more papers is also being seen in New York where more copies of the New York Times are being printed; likewise, papers in Detroit, D.C., and Atlanta are running extra editions.
