Chicago Tribune Staff Demands Answers from Editor Over Journatic

The editorial staff of the Chicago Tribune has written to its editor, Gerould Kern, demanding answers about the company’s continued relationship with under-fire content provider Journatic.

Continuing questions about Journatic’s ethics and business practices came into sharp focus earlier this month with the discovery that it had supplied a story to the Chicago Tribune’s TribLocal edition that contained allegedly plagiarized and fabricated elements.
