    Well, it could be worse. Singleton could be making a bid.

    All of the sudden, other names are being mentioned as possible suitors. And MediaNews is out there somewhere (it really is, but all of the sudden, I can't find the link. Know I read it this AM though).

    At least one other media company, Denver-based MediaNews, is also interested in some of Tribune's newspapers, most notably the Hartford Courant and The Stamford Advocate in Connecticut, and The Morning Call in Allentown, Pa., another source said. It's not clear, however, whether MediaNews has officially joined the bidding.

    Let's focus on what's really important: The Tribune execs have provided for themselves in case of a sale. [/poynter]
