 NEW YORK TRIBUNEFor the past eighty-three years, the New York Tribune has been a well-respected establishment. Those who join its ranks are considered incredibly lucky. Some of the most famous literary writers have graduated from the Tribune team. If you join the Tribune, you will be mentored by some of most talented men and women in the country.
Recently, however, the Tribune’s reputation has been destroyed. A writer accepted a tip on a major political story from an anonymous source. This story was published on the front page of the Tribune, and was quickly spread to other news sources and medium. However, after an investigation into this political figure’s dealings, the story was proven false.
With the short temper of the Board of Director's President, many people were fired, however, a few were kept. Those that were kept on board know they're in stormy waters, and are walking on egg shells. Though with all the changes the Tribune as made, it was too late. The damage was done. The Tribune is considered a joke. “Who told you that? The New York Tribune?” Those journalists at the paper who used to be considered lucky are now teased by their friends. Can the writers stick together to work their way back up in the minds of the people and their standing in the business?
