Sam Zell, CEO and largest shareholder of the company over the Chicago Tribune among other things, recently sent out the following memo:

Memo to Tribune employees from Sam Zell

From: Talk to Sam
Sent: Tue 1/22/2008 11:03 AM
Subject: Censorship, the First Amendment and the Fourth Estate

Everyone, I learned on the first leg of our tour of Tribune's business units that some of them were filtering Internet content. I do not see how a member of the Fourth Estate, dedicated to protecting the First Amendment, can censor what its own employees and partners can see. I have instructed that all content filters be removed. You are now exposed to the dangers of You Tube and Facebook. Please use your best judgment.

Let's focus on what is important, and go for greatness. Sam
