Jon Bell was actually working for Eagle Newspapers just before joining the Trib. But yes, I was indeed lopped off a year later when the Tribune cut the entire business section and then some. But in retrospect, working for the Tribune, which I still do on a limited freelance basis, and then getting laid off were two of the best things that have ever happened in my career. If I were Lee, I would have no reservations about joining the Tribune at all.
