AS PAPERS CUT, TRIBUNE UPDATES TV NEWS
Tribune Company is slashing staff and space at newspapers across the country. But in another old-media business -- local television news -- it's moving in the opposite direction. Nearly half of Tribune's 23 broadcast stations are expanding or launching local news operations, many of them hiring staff as a result. The biggest investment is in KSWB-TV in San Diego, which has hired a staff of nearly 50 to produce the station's first in-house news broadcasts in nearly three years.
