I subscribe to the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and Elgin’s Courier News.

I didn’t get to read the Tribune and the Courier before I took my son to swim practice in McHenry.

After I finished the Tribune, I asked one of the swim moms sitting near me if she would like to read it.

“I already read it online,” she replied.

And yesterday, the Chicago Tribune filed for bankruptcy.

Think that will make their subscribers stop reading the paper?

Maybe the new format, but not the bankruptcy filing.

I doubt it.

I left yesterday’s Tribune at the pool at McHenry’s West High School. The one you see is the first of the new layout, September 29, 2008.

The headline on top asks, “Will it work?”

I guess it didn’t.
