Its roots are in print journalism, but the Tribune Company has branched out to embrace virtually every aspect of modern media. One of the top newspaper publishers in the US, it owns about 10 major daily papers, including the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. Tribune also owns 23 TV stations in about 20 markets, cable network WGN America, and a stake in the Food Network (31%). The company's Tribune Media Services unit is a leading syndicator of news and other content. In addition, Tribune owns a number of investments in online media. Real estate tycoon Sam Zell took the company private in 2007; Tribune filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late the following year.
