    The tight ends coach at UCLA made like $450k last year.

    Pretty sure the LAT is not sponsored by Nike.

    What do the top editors of The New York Times and Washington Post make? If that is not a fair comparison, what does the top editor of fill in the blank publication make?

    The New York Post article said that the job would pay $500,000-$700,000 a year. Jill Abrahamson was making $525,0000 at the New York Times in 2014. I realize that there was a lot of controversy about her salary but it gives some idea of what the going rate is.

    I also find it hard to believe that the U-T is up for sale. It is printed in Los Angeles. If it is struggling as part of the LA Times it would probably struggle even more if it operated independently.

    So the top editors who are men must make $1.2 mil at least.

    Apples to watermelons.

    I'm talking only about newspaper editors.

    What do editors at top newspapers make? I offered Jill Abrahamson because her salary has been widely reported.

    Why has the Chicago Tribune had such bad luck with owners? Of all the great newspapers in the country, hasn't the Chicago Tribune been affected the most (negatively) by ownership changes? It once had the best sports section in America. Now it's just like the rest. Tiny.

    In its heyday I doubt it even had the best sports section in its chain.

    I really doubt it went to the French Open, Wimbledon, the Goodwill Games (Moscow) and the America's Cup (Australia) in a nine-month stretch, as we did in Fort Lauderdale. :)
