Feder: With no savior in sight, Tribune loses reporter David Jackson

David Jackson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who spearheaded a valiant effort to find a benevolent owner for the Chicago Tribune, has resigned after 29 years at the newspaper, Robert Feder writes.

Jackson's departure comes as Alden is poised to become majority stockholder of Tribune Publishing.
