Come On Chairman Ferro, You Really Had To Change The Name?

Alterations are good but when the label of a perfectly fine company happens, change should be banned.

Come On Chairman Ferro, You Really Had To Change The Name?
tribune publishing

The term new within any sort of industry has created controversy within various groups of people. Audiences either shake their head with anxiety that history will be discontinued or nod with excitement being that a change in society can create positive impact. However, with publishing industries especially, it can be a bit questioning on how to judge it.

Publishing has become a method of producing products of literature and music for a numerous amount of years. It created a productive impact upon the people but a consistent amount of alterations made publishing into an even more accessible way. The internet, cheap marketing and the public library has become trends where the audience has cheaper and freeways of finding publishing contents. Strand Bookstore, one of the most popular discounted bookstores in NYC, has a majority of New Yorkers to enjoy cut down priced books compared to Barnes and Nobles where books are fully priced. The Public Library has also become a favorite within the community being that books and other published sources are free. Unfortunately, published authors who rely on their writing careers find these reduced and without cost settings a step back for their income.

Books that have been cut down from the original printing price means the publishing industry and the published authors themselves are incapable of a decent earning for themselves and their possible families. Libraries are an even worse option since there is no required income from the public. These options are wretched but Tribune Publishing's change of name seems a bit more traumatizing.

Tribune Publishing originally started in the year of 1847. It scattered throughout the United States after it's start in Chicago from Los Angeles, New York City, and many more published industries. It was a successful hit until June 2nd, 2016. Tribune Publishing announced its change of name from the original Chicago Tribune to Tronc, Inc. Chairmen Michael Ferro proclaims that with the change of name, there can be a positive growth within the company.

The fact that the Chairperson himself finds the need to alter the label of a historical publishing is horrifying. I find myself furious at this press release due to his marketing mindset, rather than a love for the publishing concerned past. How can someone possibly think changing a name is suitable and even acceptable just because of wanting more profit into the business? Change is good but in this sense I find it unnecessary. There's no need to make adjustments on something that was already working so well. Change should only be permitted to be used if the company was not impacting any of the public but Tribune Publishing as been such an historic figure, it's repulsive.

All change does is take a perfectly great item and create it into a completely new identity so I guess change isn't good at all.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
