As newspapers and broadcasters shift resources to the Web, new ventures come online seemingly everyday. And sometimes they go just as quickly. Such was the case with the Chi-Town Daily News.

Chicago Tribune
reporter will start another journalistic endeavor, Chicago Current. He tells us what's in the works.
