Is anyone subscribing to the Trib's new Printers Row Journal? If so, are you cataloguing the inserts? I'm thinking that perhaps we could discuss a uniform way to do this.

I haven't been able (in my 34th month without a job) to allocate the $$$ to sign up for it. I did try to work out a deal with the Trib, but that didn't get any traction there. I guess I'm going to have to let the e-version suffice until I get an income. :-(

My preview copy didn't persuade me to subscribe. I'm definitely interested in keeping up and seeing where it goes, though.

That's a good idea -- you mean the original fiction? Billy Lombardo's "Clover" and "Emma Goldman's Grave" by Carol Anshaw?

elenchus and jnwelch, sorry you to hear PRJ fell short of your hopes. The good news: It's a very new project, and things change all the time. What would you like to see? Email me your feedback: TribNation@tribune.com.
Also, glad you know Brendan Tripp, who is one of my favorite Chicagoans.

Yes, that's what I meant.
The Anshaw is an excerpt from Carry the One, so I think cataloguing it and then using the "work-to-work relationship" option would be the way to go.
I'd consider "Chicago Tribune" or "Printers Row Journal" to be the publisher, though.
I must say that I'm finding the Journal to be a mixed bag, and, although I've subscribed (you won me over with Sara Paretsky and Nicole Hollander in the first sample edition), I'm not yet convinced it's worth an additional $2 per week. But I'm giving it a shot. I'd like to see a bit less of the TV/movie-related stuff (Oscar night? Really?), and more substantive reviews. And why no author event listings?

James, I hope you don't mind my reply here rather than directed to @tribune.com: I like the community conversation rather than a two-way dialogue.
I must admit I had only a vague hope that something would grab me and leave the impression I could not possibly allow myself to miss an issue! I don't have any specific understanding of why that didn't happen, but it didn't. Always easy to criticise, eh?
But as you say, it's new, which is why I want to keep my eye on it. As for subscribing, I realised a few years ago that periodicals / newspapers don't fit my reading habits, and just lead to lots of recycling. I dropped everything and focus on books and online. As I don't subscribe to the Trib currently, it would require a new subscription for just the PRJ. The eDition is fine for now. That, and hearing what others think in a forum like this one!

Interesting to see what others thought of the PRJ. We get weekday delivery of the Trib and don't really want 7-day-a-week delivery.
Even so, I was happy to see that it's available on Kindle. I liked, but didn't love, it.
The drawback for me is that I hate having to go to Amazon each week to buy a copy (for $2.99). I forget and then, before I know it, I've missed a few weeks.
Why can't the Trib offer a Kindle subscription, as nearly all other periodicals seem to do?
Disappointing that there are no author event listings, as someone else mentioned. The Lake Forest Bookstore seems to be making a big push on author events in conjunction with Lake County libraries and it'd be nice to see these listed.
Just this week, I went to an event in Libertyville featuring Clint Hill, Jackie Kennedy's Secret Service agent. Also went to see Gary Krist, author of the new Chicago history book, City of Scoundrels.
