Mr zell has not said anything about giving workers a bigger say in running things .
对他们在公司经营中是否能享有更多参与权,宰尔也只字未提。
" It went off the cliff in january , " mr zell told a conference last month .
泽尔上个月在一次会议上表示:“它在1月份就跌入了深渊。”
Zell says tribune company will continue to operate as normally as possible under the supervision of the bankruptcy court and that he 's not going anywhere .
泽尔称论坛公司会在破产法庭的监管下尽快照常经营,而他哪也不会去。
In the end , tribune was purchased by a wealthy billionaire , sam zell , at what turned out to be considerable personal cost-though this was less a deliberate act of philanthropy than a catastrophic commercial mistake .
Zell originally did the tribune deal because he saw it through the eyes of a real estate man buying an undervalued asset in a beaten up industry , hoping he could manage it until the market improved .
It was this change , coupled with the sheer amount of debt mr zell took on to buy tribune , which led the los angeles times and chicago tribune to the bankruptcy courts .
When sam zell first visited the los angeles times , he told employees of the paper he wasn 't there to be " captain of the titanic " .
萨姆泽尔首次来访《洛杉矶时报》时,他对时报的雇员们说他来到这里不想成为“泰坦尼克号的船长”!
But , in all of those years , I had never witnessed anyone quite like zell who , I would soon learn , was one of those media executives who voiced more concern about the first quarter than the first amendment .
Along the way zell and compatriots , including former radio executive randy michaels , disgraced themselves in the eyes of o'shea and tribune company 's journalists .
