Some 40 parties have expressed interest in acquiring some or all of Tribune Co.’s newspapers, according to sources close to the situation. The Chicago-based media company hired investment bankers in February to manage inquiries for its eight daily newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.

The company is soon expected to grant would-be buyers access to a “data room,” a secure Web site containing detailed financial information about the company. Few suitors have said publicly they are interested in exploring a potential purchase.[/QUOTE]
