Canadian > Chicago Sun-Times

The Chicago Sun-Times, one of two major daily newspapers in Chicago, is the flagship newspaper in the Sun-Times Media Group, which also owns an array of publications in the Chicago area. The company was known as Hollinger International Inc. when it was controlled by Canadian media baron Conrad Black through Ravelston Corp., a Canadian holding company. The Sun-Times had a succession of owners after it was sold to Rupert Murdoch in 1984 by Marshall Field IV, whose family had owned it for decades. Black and three former Hollinger executives, Peter Atkinson, John Boultbee and Mark Kipnis, were convicted of fraud in connection with bogus non-compete payments at Chicago-based Hollinger. Black also was convicted of obstruction of justice for taking 13 boxes out of his Toronto office during the federal probe.
