Chicago Reader

The Chicago Reader is an alternative weekly newspaper that has been a significant part of Chicago's cultural and political landscape since its founding in 1971. It is known for its fearless journalism and strong community ties, initially serving the city's countercultural demographics, including artists, musicians, and activists. The Reader has transitioned from a print-focused model to a hybrid digital and print operation, continuing to provide critical political analysis and cultural criticism. The Reader offers weekly print editions and daily online content, featuring investigative reporting and event listings. It collaborates with freelancers and independent outlets to amplify marginalized voices, supported by initiatives like the Accountability Journalism project. The paper has also published special projects, including a commemorative book celebrating its history. Under new leadership, the Reader emphasizes equity in staffing and coverage, focusing on issues affecting communities of color and immigrants, while remaining community-supported through donation drives and campaigns.
