Community engagement and digital media play a bigger role in journalism than ever before. The community is not only an audience, but instead plays a critical role in our reporting. For far too long newsrooms have neglected the stories that matter most to the communities we serve. Our new community journalism initiative is our attempt to change our reporting style and cover the issues you care more about.
“Can you tell me more?” attempts to bridge the gap between our coverage and our audience. What questions do you have about Chicago? What do you believe is underreported? Our team wants to help cover the issues you believe matter most.
We have created a questionnaire for residents to fill out with questions our audience wants answered. We’ll share it daily on our social accounts and dig through your questions to find stories to cover. This project is our attempt to boost audience trust, while ultimately helping answer all your questions about any underreported topics in your community. Reach out to our team at any time for questions or concerns.
