In 2000, after the Tribune Company acquired Times Mirror
Corporation, it comprised the most powerful collection of
newspapers in the world. How then did Tribune nosedive into
bankruptcy and public scandal? In The Deal From Hell,
veteran Tribune and Los Angeles Times editor James O'Shea
takes us behind the scenes of the decisions that led to
disaster in boardrooms and newsrooms from coast to coast,
based on access to key players, court testimony, and sworn
depositions. The Deal From Hell is a riveting narrative that chronicles
how news industry executives and editors—convinced they were
acting in the best interests of their publications—made a
series of flawed decisions that endangered journalistic
credibility and drove the newspapers, already confronting a
perfect storm of political, technological, economic, and
social turmoil, to the brink of extinction.
