This chapter examines the libelous article which was written by part-time columnist Bill Page and published by the Kane County Chronicle. The article told the story of Mary Elizabeth “Meg” Gorecki, who had been a rising star in the Illinois legal community but committed ethics violations. In his column, Page claimed Bob Thomas originally wanted to pursue a much steeper penalty for Gorecki—up to and including disbarment. Yet in the end, Page contended, Thomas pushed a four-month suspension in return for the Gorecki camp assisting one of Thomas's appointed judges, Robert Spence, in an upcoming election. Thomas then called Chicago attorney Joseph Power, Jr. and suggested they consider filing a defamation lawsuit. Backed into a corner, Thomas was left with no alternative. He would not be able to uphold any semblance of moral authority if he permitted the libelous statements to live. Justice was necessary for him to keep working as a justice. An unconditional exoneration through litigation, he knew, was now the only way to retain the confidence of attorneys. The defamation suit was filed on January 16, 2004, naming Page, managing editor Greg Rivara, and the Shaw Suburban Newspaper Group (which owned the Chronicle) as defendants.

This study aimed to build an evaluation model for integrated marketing communications services of newspaper groups. First, researchers obtained the proper evaluation criteria by using related documents and the modified Delphi method to condense experts' opinions. Then, AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) was applied to determine the weights of these criteria, allowing researchers to order the alternatives and find the most suitable newspaper group to implement integrated marketing communications services. The model was then applied to a real case of a famous financial holding company in Taiwan, which was looking for a newspaper group as its partner to promote its company image. According to the research results, the criteria that the advertisers cared about, in order of importance, were as follows: scale of the newspaper organization, ability of planning and implementation, ability of resource integration, and choice of communication tools. This model can provide advertisers with an objective and efficient method of choosing the most suitable newspaper group, and is of certain value and contribution in academic circles and practices.

This study of professional practices at fifty-eight U.S. daily newspapers finds few differences between group-owned and independent newspapers. It does, however, find that the size of a newspaper group and number of papers in a group are associated with differences in some professional practices.
