Its roots are in print journalism, but the Tribune Company has branched beyond the written word to embrace virtually every aspect of modern media. One of the US's top newspaper publishers, it owns about 10 major daily newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, and Newsday (Long Island). Tribune also owns 23 TV stations in about 20 markets, cable network Superstation WGN, 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 the Chicago Cubs baseball team, as well as a number of investments in online media. Real estate tycoon Sam Zell took the company private in 2007.
