==Tribune Company==
{{main|Tribune Media}}
The ''Chicago Tribune'' was the founding business unit of [[Tribune Media|Tribune Company]] (since renamed ''Tribune Media''), which included many newspapers and television stations around the country. In Chicago, Tribune Media owned the [[WGN (AM)|WGN]] radio station (720&nbsp;AM) and [[WGN-TV]] (Channel 9). Tribune Company also owned the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''—which displaced the Tribune as the company's largest property—and the [[Chicago Cubs]] [[baseball]] team. The Cubs were sold in 2009;the newspapers spun off in 2014 as Tribune Publishing.

Tribune Company owned the New York ''[[New York Daily News|Daily News]]'' from its 1919 founding until its 1991 sale to British newspaper magnate [[Robert Maxwell]]. The founder of the ''News'' — Capt. [[Joseph Medill Patterson]] — was a grandson of Joseph Medill and a cousin of ''Tribune'' editor Robert McCormick. Both Patterson and McCormick were enthusiasts of [[spelling|simplified spelling]], another hallmark of their papers for many years. In 2008, the Tribune Company sold the Long Island newspaper ''[[Newsday]]''—founded in 1940 by Patterson's daughter (and Medill's great-granddaughter), [[Alicia Patterson]]—to Long Island cable TV company [[Cablevision]].

From 1925 to 2018, the Chicago Tribune was housed in the [[Tribune Tower]] on North [[Michigan Avenue (Chicago)|Michigan Avenue]] on the [[Magnificent Mile]]. The building is [[Gothic architecture|neo-Gothic]] in style, and the design was the winner of an international competition hosted by the Tribune. The Chicago Tribune moved in June 2018 to the Prudential Plaza office complex overlooking Millennium Park after Tribune Media sold Tribune Tower to developers.
