In 1999, The Tribune Company, with a gleam in its eye, gave birth to a new division that began with an "I" - Interactive. Created with the purpose of centralizing all of Tribune's newspaper websites, Tribune Interactive began expanding faster than Kirstie Alley's waistline, to include managing the numerous Tribune-owned broadcast stations' websites and developing efficient ways to harness web technology and ad-serving for the markets.

Since then, Tribune Interactive has transformed itself from a scruffy band of nerds writing code in Cheetos-riddled cubicles to an elite services firm with an emphasis on caring for the business units rather than just controlling their websites. Additionally, for the past year, TI has focused its attention on providing the latest technology platforms to each of its properties, while acting as advisers, trainers and consultants to its customers. Tribune Interactive is and will continue to be an innovator, leading the evolution of media companies and paving the way for future advances in each of its markets.

TRIBUNE is America's largest employee-owned media company, operating businesses in publishing, interactive and broadcasting. In publishing, Tribune's leading daily newspapers include the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun, Sun Sentinel (South Florida), Orlando Sentinel, Hartford Courant, Morning Call and Daily Press. The company's broadcasting group operates 23 television stations, WGN America on national cable, and Chicago's WGN-AM. Popular news and information websites complement Tribune's print and broadcast properties and extend the company's nationwide audience. At Tribune we take what we do seriously and with a great deal of pride. We also value the creative spirit and nurture a corporate culture that doesn't take itself too seriously.
