This is about the Chicago newspaper; for other meanings, see Redeye.
The RedEye is a daily publication put out by the Chicago Tribune geared towards 18 to 34-year-olds. It was created due to the loss of readership among young people of the Tribune and other major newspapers. Tribune hopes papers like the RedEye, and the Chicago Sun-Times' answer, the Red Streak will pull readers back into their companies and eventually migrate them into the big edition.
As compared with mainstream newspapers, the RedEye strongly emphasizes pop culture and entertainment news; humorous or lighthearted rather than serious columns, and flashy graphics and large pictures. Like the Chicago Sun-Times, the RedEye is a tabloid-format newspaper, oriented vertically rather than horizontally and with a front page consisting only of a large picture and a banner headline.
The RedEye is published five times a week and pulls its content from the Associated Press, and other newspapers in the Tribune's network such as the Los Angeles Times and the Orlando Sentinel.
