Tronc, Inc.—that’s the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, and lesser titles in Michael Ferro’s media family—paid about $2.7 million last year to lease a Bombardier jet, tweets national media writer Ken Doctor, who spotted the expense in the latest Tronc financials. Doctor couldn’t resist commenting that the money was “enough to pay 25 high-end journalists.”
Last week Doctor also reported that Tronc was close to buying US Weekly from Wenner Media for about $85 million.
