From Crain’s Chicago Business:

The Sun-Times Media Group, owner of the Chicago Sun-Times and dozens of suburban newspapers, says it has filed for bankruptcy, making it the fifth newspaper publisher in recent months to seek protection from creditors.

The company said it filed for Chapter 11 protection in a Delaware court Tuesday. It will continue to operate its newspapers and online properties.

Feh. I used to like the paper. But I couldn’t stomach reading the thing after Conrad Black infected it with his grimy touch. I hope Lord Black is enjoying life in prison.
