In December 2008, the Tribune Company — the nation’s second-largest newspaper publisher and a large multimedia corporation — filed for bankruptcy. The filing made headlines as the largest bankruptcy in the history of the American media industry. Approximately four years later, the legal wrangling in this matter continues, with one of the main sticking points being the competition between two proposed restructuring plans.
