did a sun-times fanboy write this? my impression is it's not that well respected, relative to the trib
It says that it is a liberal/centrist paper. Is this true? Isn't this owned by Rupert Murdoch (No, but he owned it briefly in the 1980s) of Fox News Lore? Nick Catalano (Talk) 23:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Is there a difference? I don't know what an "urban tabloid" is, a compact is a tabloid sized paper of broadsheet quality. GracieLizzie 21:39, 29 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
I deleted the unsourced claim that it is best known internationally as the employer of Ebert. I would guess Novak is much better known, maybe even internationally, than Ebert. Especially after his prominent role in the Plame "media event" which was covered incessantly until it was discovered that none of W's underlings were on the chopping block. But it could well be that American movies are in fact more well-known than White House purge attempts. In any event, the prominent Novak can hardly be ignored.

I bet Ms. Sneed will soon be the best known journalist, internationally, in this current list. (NC_Lao_Wan 15:22 PM, April 19 2007)
The second to last paragraph ("The movie Continental Divide...") should be in a "Sun-Times in Popular Culture" section - 65.24.127.241 06:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
This has nothing to do with the credibility of the Sun Times as a paper relative to the Tribune. The Chicago Innovation Awards was simply co-founded by the Sun Times. The Awards itself is an endeavor seperate from either the Chicago Sun Times or Kuczmarski & Associates. Merging into either of those two articles would not make sense.
The Chicago Innovation Awards, while co-founded by the Sun-Times, Chicago's second largest paper, in 2002, is a distinct awards ceremony, recognized on a national stage and counting amongst its honorees Motorola, Sara Lee, Millenium Park, Abbott Labs, and other Fortune 500 companies. It is a major economic and innovation initiative both in terms of the City of Chicago and in terms of American business innovation. To merge it with the Sun-Times entry would be incorrect.
The independence of the CIAs from the Sun-Times is important, as this independence acknowledges the growing authority of the CIAs as a distinctive organization and venture dedicated to the celebratration and recognition of innovation. Though the CIAs may have been born from a marriage between the Sun-Times and Kuczmarski & Associates, the CIAs now stand on their own as a distinguished ceremony. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cdoyle07 (talk • contribs).
Shortly after the VT Massacre, the newspaper published an article, which contained incredibly detailed information on the identity of the gunman like the age, nationality, legal status, origin, port of entry, and date of entry. All the information later turned out to be totally wrong, not even remotely close to the truth. The reporter and the newspaper should have run a credibility check, to the standard journalism stands by, before publishing the article at such a sensitive time as the whole world is eager to learn. The more detailed and sensitive the report is, the more careful the newspaper should be. Failing to do this and to meet reader's expectation will ensure people's criticism on the quality of the report and the professionalism of the newspaper.
This is the reason why people are critical of the newspaper on this particular incident. The criticism was written in a neutral, factual, and objective way and should be kept as is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dongdongdog (talk • contribs).
First, this section is about how a controversial news report was hastily published at an urgent event and later found erroneous. This section is strongly related with the subject of the article.
Second, the spirit of the wiki is based on democracy. There are many people showing interests in editing this section to make it meet wiki standard. This section should be kept in the article to reflect people's choice.Dongdongdog 05:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
IfLos Angeles Times, Fox News, and CNN, to name a few, all have a section of controversy, why can't this article? Dongdongdog 00:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Like in many articles on media, there is a controversy section. The title of this section should be in this norm and be changed to controversy. The verbatim of "Erroneous Reporting of the Virginia Tech Massacre" is too specific as a section title. Dongdongdog 22:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I have requested comment from outside editors and/or administrators via a formal Request For Comment regarding the presence and structure of the VT content here. --Mhking 23:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
The following is unsourced information:
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 03:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
There is no mention here of Jeremy Halbreich taking the Sun Times out of bankeuptcy and now heading the paper for the new owners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.20.234.11 (talk) 22:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
isn't it noteworthy that the paper was featured prominently in the TV series "Early Edition"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.37.75 (talk) 11:45, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
