Consolidation rumors reshape Chicago evening papers
The Chicago Daily Journal and Chicago Evening Post may merge, reducing the city’s five evening papers to four or five. Mergers have long shifted names, with Herald, Record, and American evolving through acquisitions. The Journal’s circulation trails the Post, each serving different reader classes, with the Journal favoring politics and suburban news and the Post finance and highbrow culture. The upcoming Journal Post merger should be a strong, forceful addition to Chicago’s daily press.
