Now WBEZ has been approached by WNYC about acquiring Chicagoist, including domain names, social media assets and archives. \u201cGiven WBEZ\u2019s commitment to local journalism, as well as admiration for the work of these former outlets, WBEZ is actively exploring this possibility and determining how these assets might be used most effectively in keeping with the organization\u2019s mission to serve the Chicago community,\u201d Steve Edwards,<\/strong> vice president and chief content officer for Chicago Public Media, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. It\u2019s Paddock\u2019s fourth acquisition of a chamber publishing company's assets since 2014. \"SouthComm Publishing was a strong competitor to Town Square for many years, and this acquisition broadens our profile from coast to coast,\" said Scott Stone,<\/strong> president and chief operating officer of Paddock Publications.<\/p>\n

Jim Warren,<\/strong> the former columnist and editor for the Chicago Tribune, has landed as executive editor of NewsGuard,<\/a> a media startup that will rate other news media. Warren most recently was media critic and daily newsletter writer for Poynter.org. Founded by media entrepreneur Steve Brill<\/strong> and former Wall Street Journal publisher Gordon Crovitz,<\/strong> NewsGuard will review and rate news sites based on where they get their information and who\u2019s behind them. \u201cIn addition to alerting people to fake news, one of our key goals is to help consumers, including young people, know when to take news from certain sites with a grain of salt,\u201d Crovitz said in a statement. \u201cBrands convey important information about sources of news, but unlike in the days of newsstands, brands don\u2019t stand out in social media feeds or search results.\u201d<\/p>\n
