Editing RedEye (section)

==Competition==
''RedEye'' was created because of the ''Chicago Tribune'' and other major newspapers' loss of readership among young people. [[Tribune Company]] began publishing the ''RedEye'' in an effort to pull readers back into readership and eventually migrate them into the big edition (''Tribune'').<ref name="ST01"/>

When ''RedEye'' appeared, it was in direct competition with another paper ''[[Red Streak]]'', which the ''Tribune's'' Chicago competitor the ''[[Sun-Times]]'' began publishing at the same time. Initially, both papers were handed out for free by "[[Hawker (trade)|hawkers]]" on street corners, usually with one vendor from each paper directly next to each other.<ref name="ST01"/> After about six months of the free papers, both companies placed vending boxes throughout the city with the papers thereafter costing 25 cents.  At the end of 2005, the ''Sun-Times'' discontinued ''Red Streak''. According to ''Sun-Times'' publisher John Cruickshank, ''Red Streak'' was only launched "to stop [the ''Tribune''] from gaining a foothold in the paid tabloid market". Its only purpose was to undermine ''RedEye'''s attempt at drawing commuters, customers which have historically belonged to the ''Sun-Times''.<ref name="ST01"/> At the beginning of 2006, ''RedEye'' became a free paper once again, with vending boxes being unlocked and coin slots covered over.

In February 2007, after [[NewsCorp]] launched a late-night talk television program on [[Fox News]] entitled ''[[Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld|Red Eye]]'', the Tribune Company filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/24hour/business/story/3556973p-12784930c.html |title=Tribune Sues Fox News Over 'Red Eye' |work=The News Tribune}}{{Dead link|date=August 2010}}</ref>
