Chicago is home to nearly 80 independent news outlets, many of which have garnered national attention and acclaim. Our city is an epicenter for experimentation, innovation, and collaboration. However, beneath this exterior lies a challenge-many Chicago news organizations, despite their excellence, are undercapitalized.
By making philanthropic investments in a diverse range of news outlets, Press Forward Chicago aims to ensure residents have access to relevant, credible, and trusted information.
Join us at the Experimental Station for a reception and conversation about transforming support for local news in Chicago and its impact in our community. Hear from philanthropic leaders, media experts, and local journalists, including two recent Chicago journalists who won the Pulitzer Prize winners for Local News for their cross-newsroom collaboration.
