Chicago Tribune lays off biz writer

Chicago Tribune business reporter Susan Chandler is among the editorial staff members laid off at the paper on Thursday, writes David Roeder of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Chandler had been with the Tribune since 1997. There, she has covered everything from K Mart’s acquisition of Sears to real estate. Before that she was with BusinessWeek magazine from 1994 to 1997.

Her last story in the paper was Wednesday. It was about Ariel Investments president Mellody Hobson.

In 2007, she was part of a team at the Tribune that won a SABEW Best in Business Award in the breaking news category for its coverage of the Chicago Board of Trade merger with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Chandler has a master’s degree in Soviet Affairs from Tufts University in 1984.
