<\/a> Chicago Tribune<\/p><\/div>\n

Look for the Chicago Tribune<\/a>\u00a0to expand its commentary and opinion section in print and across online and mobile platforms, starting next week.<\/p>\n

Tribune editor Gerry Kern announced Thursday the addition of two pages a week to the newspaper\u2019s Perspective section, bringing to four the number of commentary and opinion pages each weekday and five on Sundays. Additional content will be featured on chicagotribune.com\/opinion<\/a> and on the Tribune\u2019s mobile apps.<\/p>\n

\u201cChicago Tribune is a destination for people to learn about the events that shape their communities and, at the same time, serves as a platform for our audience to share ideas that help move the community forward,\u201d Kern said in a statement. \u201cReaders can see this commitment at work in \u2018The New Plan of Chicago\u2019 opinion campaign that is providing \u2014 with the participation of citizens \u2014 a new vision for the future of the Chicago region. Our expanded commentary offering in print and online supports this civic dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a time when other newspapers have reduced or eliminated editorial pages and staffs, the Tribune has been expanding<\/a>\u00a0them under editorial page editor Bruce Dold. Last month Dold added<\/a> veteran editor Lara Weber to the editorial board, where she will focus on the selection and editing of essays, columns, letters and other content.<\/p>\n

Tony Hunter, publisher of the Tribune and CEO of Chicago Tribune Media Group, said in a statement: \u201cOur expansion in this arena reflects our commitment to mission-driven journalism, through our continuing investment in premium content \u2013 whether through groundbreaking investigations, compelling vertical offerings or rich opinions \u2013 that deepens our connection to the audiences we serve and grows our reach across platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
