The Chicago Tribune on Friday night said it has suspended its use of content provider Journatic to produce editorial material for its suburban TribLocal publications after the discovery of plagiarized and fabricated elements in a story published this week.

The announcement by Chicago Tribune Media Group President Vince Casanova came two weeks after Journatic's standards and practices were called into question in a nationally broadcast report on WBEZ-FM 91.5's "This American Life."
