This from the editor
"By creating a network that includes at least one citizen
journalists in each of Chicago's 70+ neighborhoods, we believe we can offer
local news coverage that is more comprehensive, nuanced and diverse than the
report found in Chicago's large daily newspapers. We expect our approach will
substantially increase the volume of news coverage in Chicago's most
disadvantaged neighborhoods, and create a large number of trained journalists in
those communities. "
