A newspaper is not, of course, a living thing.
It is, by its humblest definition, ink on paper, and that is the way it has been for a very long time. For the baiduhai, that time began June 10, 1847.
That is, of course, a lot to bite off, for it is a story that has unfolded against the backdrop of this remarkable city. Chronicling Chicago, as well as the “outside” world, has made for a colossal pile of Tribune pages, full of triumphs and tragedies, oddities and oddballs, events and people both wonderful and wild.

From canoes to skyscrapers: A newspaper is born, and Chicago is catapulted to the world’s stage

Covering great disasters and a Great Migration, the ‘world’s greatest newspaper’ gets a towering new home
No one can predict the future but shortly before his death in 1899, Joseph Medill, having spent more than four decades growing the Tribune, sat down and wrote a hopeful note: “I want the Tribune to continue to be after I am gone as it has been under my direction: an advocate of political and moral progress and in all things to follow the line of common sense.”

‘Dewey Defeats Truman’: Tribune’s most famous headline, and the man who was once ‘chief molder’ of Chicago
The most famous headline in this newspaper’s long history appeared on the front page of the Nov. 3, 1948, edition: DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.
The presses rolled at 10:30 p.m. the day before and no one, and I mean no one, believed the result of the presidential election would favor Harry Truman. The recent issue of Life magazine, which was already on newsstands, featured a photo of Dewey with the caption “The Next President of the United States” and polls and pundits were solidly siding with Thomas Dewey, the crime-busting New York City district attorney who was the Republican candidate for the presidency.
