The Times of Northwest Indiana and the Post-Tribune are fighting for turf in Gary, Ind.
The Times is a Lee paper based in Munster, Ind. The Post-Tribune is a Sun-Times Media paper, based in Merrillville, Ind. The papers cover the same area in the northwest Indiana.
In a Sunday editorial, the Post-Tribune took offense to Times billboards: "Readers, would you trust a newspaper whose billboards lie? We wouldn't either." One of the billboards in question says the Times offers the "only local news in Gary"; the other says the Times is "proud to be Gary's only local newspaper and Web site."
The Chicago Tribune has more on the battle.

lol... goes to show how hungry they are. I remember when the battle was for south lake county and Porter county. The TIMES could have cared less about Gary, back then, because of constant circulation issues.
Thank you for sharingg this
