A lot of my reaction to today's paper stems from the fact that I used to work there, and as I used to say, the Tribune is The Hotel California of Journalism: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. So I still feel attached to the Trib, even though I left there 11 years ago. But for the nearly five years that I was there, I was proud to be a part of it. And it's been hard to watch the exodus of great talent but the redesign inspires particular chagrin. It's like a middle-aged woman trying to feel better about herself by donning something young and tarty. It's just sad. At least the New York Times is still the New York Times.
