The author analyses the content of Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times newspapers, which are competing with each other. There were considered 890 articles during the period from August, 17, 2015 to August, 21, 2015. The author studies how competition influences the “first” and the “second” newspaper content models. The research helps to understand how both dailies can survive in one market, considering that in most American cities the “second” newspapers couldn't cope with competition and died.
