It looks like the precipitating news event was an employee rally outside the home of the antivaccine co-owner. > **[Chicago Reader employees rally to save alternative newspaper as ownership...](https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-chicago-reader-rally-ownership-fight-delay-transition-nonprofit-20220421-64vwwaoxcvfullv7dec5iug3ai-story.html)** > > Chicago Reader employees organized a rally Thursday in front of a co-owner's Lakeview East home to “make some noise” and push him to let the alternative weekly transition to a nonprofit. The Tribune article suggests that Goodman was pissed off over the Reader’s attempt to replace his original column with a fact-checked revised version. Now they’re squabbling over the for-profit board’s power to select members for the non-profit board, including how many might be aligned with the paper’s for-profit owners (the unresolved “censorship” issue is also involved). Delays in getting the non-profit rolling supposedly are jeopardizing the paper’s future. What a stupid mess. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vax-skeptic-column-causes-turmoil-jeopardizes-chicago-reader/963325)._
