Chicago Tribune Newspaper USA is a major daily newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and the flagship publication of the Tribune Company. Formerly self-styled as the “World’s Greatest Newspaper”, Chicago Tribune remains the most read daily newspaper of the Chicago metropolitan area and the Great Lakes region and is currently the eighth largest newspaper in the United States by circulation (and became the second largest under Tribune’s ownership after the Chicago Tribune’s parent company purchased the Los Angeles Times).Traditionally published as a broadsheet, on January 13, 2009, the Tribune announced it would continue publishing as a broadsheet for home delivery, but would publish in tabloid format for newsstand, news box and commuter station sales.The Tribune’s masthead is notable for displaying the American flag, in reference to the paper’s motto, “An American Paper for Americans,” which is no longer displayed on the masthead, where it was below the flag.
