While the suspension was described as indefinite, Chicago Tribune Media Group President Vince Casanova told the newspaper it would work with Journatic in the interim to improve standards. "We're not writing them off," he said. In his blog post, Fourcher, who was also Journatic's production manager, said he had tried to address problems at the company in discussions with its founders but was thwarted. He said one of the company's shortfalls was a business model that favors quantity over quality. "Inevitably, as you distribute reporting work to an increasingly remote team, you break traditional bonds of trust between writers and editors until they are implicitly discouraged from doing high-quality work for the sake of increasing production efficiency and making more money," Fourcher said.
