Chicago Tribune

Boring as the Chicago Tribune can sometimes be, it remains broad, deep, scrupulous, and given to bursts of outright excellence. In these times, the staff’s dogged sense of self is something to admire. The frenetic new executive team may not know what the Tribune is, but the newsroom does. And let’s not overlook the suspense factor: will this be the year the Trib’s crack editorial board can’t make a straight-faced argument that the Republican nominee for president is the nation’s last best hope? Or will that same strict sense of self guarantee once again journalism’s most predictable endorsement? —Michael Miner
