Is Sam Zell Right? Stacks of Untouched Newspapers in Tribune's Convention Tent

It's an incredible thing: Hit the submit button, and after several hours of elaborate and costly printing and distribution, your content is before the reader! At about 4:30 yesterday afternoon, if you wanted a copy of the morning papers in the Tribune section of Media Pavilion 2 there were still plenty of choices. The reporters sitting in here are filing material out to The Baltimore Sun, The Hartford Courant, The Sun-Sentinel, The L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Orlando Sentinel and The Daily Press. And very few of them are reading actual paper.

By the way, also sitting in their tent is the orphaned Newsday.
