Will the Chicago Tribune really become just the Trib?


At right is one of the redesign proposals for the Chicago Tribune, according to this story on the Editor & Publisher web site. The Trib, as we've always called the Tribune, will be redesigned officially during September (no date has been announced). Even more dramatic, I hear, are planned content changes prompted by new owner Sam Zell's management team, which is dominated by television folks. 

Look in archives at Romenesko, Editor & Publisher, and newsdesigner.com for other comments and insights into the redesign. I expect the designers at newsdesigner.com to offer solid professional comment after the final design is unveiled. Currently, newsdesigner.com demonstrates the redesign of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, another Tribune newspaper, and a lot of comment on the company's redesign of the Orlando Sentinel.
