This has been a long and arduous road, beginning more than a year ago with an unsolicited offer from Shaw Media to purchase the Daily Herald,” the Paddock board said in the email. “While a special committee of Paddock’s Board of Directors and the board itself were reviewing the offer, the Chicago Tribune announced that it would also make a bid.”

Paddock is an employee-owned corporation.
