Jimmy Greenfield August 18 - 8:52 p.m. I'm not at all surprised that today the Tribune (aka Alden Global Capital) killed ChicagoNow. It's their site, they can do what they want. But it's important you know that this was done in a cowardly and horribly unprofessional way. For those of you who don't remember ChicagoNow, it's the blogging site I helped launch and then ran for about eight years. In its heyday, we were putting up 25 million page views a month. The bloggers were not employees or even freelancers though initally some were paid. They were -- are -- writers who had a platform to express themselves on whatever topic they wanted.
