 The Chicago Tribune reported in Tuesday's editions that it obtained
the records under the state's Freedom of Information Act.
Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges that include
allegations he tried to pressure Tribune Co. to fire members of the
newspaper's editorial board.
The e-mails, phone logs and calendars show the negotiations were
nicknamed Project Elwood -- apparently a reference to a character in
the "Blues Brothers."
Tribune company spokesman Gary Weitman said in a statement that
neither the company nor CEO Sam Zell had done anything wrong.
