Last year, the editors of the Tribune started "The Newsroom Insider," which discussed many of the decisions made at the newspaper. This column ran every other week – but decisions on news coverage are made every day. With this blog, we hope to give faster and more frequent explanations of our decision-making process.

We are happy to answer readers' questions about our coverage. E-mail your questions to [email protected] with the subject line "Editors' Blog."
