[edit] chicago innovation awards
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.
did a sun-times fanboy write this? my impression is it's not that well respected, relative to the trib
- Sounds like the text was taken from a press release or something. Better now? --Dhartung | Talk 18:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Political Leanings
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)

- I would say it is centrist, it is not as liberal as the Chicago Tribune.

- As far as I know, News Corp has never owned the Sun-Times. The Sun-Time's editorial slant is suposed to be Liberal, but the Chicago Tribune's editoral board is Conservative. —Linnwood 05:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- In Template_talk:Infobox newspaper, the political (leaning) field -- which is optional -- is considered less useful for American newspapers as compared with European newspapers, which retain strong party or political identifications in most cases. It's much more difficult with American newspapers because the editorials, the op-eds, and the reporting can all reflect different biases. In the case of the S-T, which successively endorsed Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Kerry, it's editorially basically centrist. In the case of the Trib, which is old-line Republican and continues to endorse GOP candidates for the WH, it's only slightly easier -- their op-eds lean a tad right but their reporting is often progressive. The S-T's reporting is populist but not progressive. So I endorse NO affiliation, as it's very dependent on point of view thus original research. --Dhartung | Talk 20:14, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Compact (newspaper) leads here, yet the article says urban tabloid
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)
[edit] Writers
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.

[edit] pop culture
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)
