Episode Details

Chicago’s premiere alt-weekly has been a hub for art, music, and local investigations since the 1970s.

We check in with the Reader’s editor-in-chief Sarah Conway, and features writer Katie Prout, on how its team is building on the legacy of the Reader to create a renewed vision for community-focused journalism.
