A conversation with Zell

Portfolio offers an in-depth look at Sam Zell, the real estate mogul who bought the Tribune Company last year. He has called the purchase "the deal from hell."

In an interview with Portfolio editor in chief Joanne Lipman, Zell declares the worthlessness of Pulitzer Prizes and said the newspaper business model is "unequivocally...a failure."
