After publishing White House tapes, the Tribune told Nixon his time was up
On April 30, 1974, the Tribune’s jet landed at Meigs Field on the lakefront instead of Midway Airport on the Southwest Side so its cargo could be delivered to Tribune Tower more quickly.
The Tribune was going for a big scoop. The airplane carried transcripts of secret tape recordings of White House conversations that President Richard M. Nixon had announced would be released on May 1.
Those tapes proved to be Nixon’s undoing. The Golden Rule of public relations is if you have something to hide, don’t.
