I'm hearing that the paper's computer system has been on the fritz much of the day. As a result, much of tomorrow's edition has not been edited and pages have not been processed. Apparently, the problem involves the Tribune-wide Newsgate system, which controls much of the editorial operation. At last check, the system was back up, but they have lots of catching up to do. And with the earlier deadlines instituted some months ago, it sounds like a mess over there.
