I don't think the powers that be at the chron are that smart. The whole 144 years is about their new printing press later this year.
They keep making a big deal about as if anyone gives a fuck. The paper might have the potential to look better, but if they have half the staff (which has already been cut several times) they won't have the designers, copy editors (which has really gone downhill), and reporters to do much with their new toys. And they might not use them very long.
