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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
