Chicago's News Landscape Changing from Print to digital
Local news outlets have adapted to national crises. Many outlets are turning to digital journalism. However, successful outlets still have to contend with the new online sources.

These digital players are often niche-focused and use social media as a distribution channel 9 news chicago phone number (http://Illinoismail.top). They experiment with reporting styles and community engagement, and they specialize in a variety of topics. They have also opened up new opportunities for writers, some of whom are able to monetize their works via services such as Substack. This has led to the emergence of a new type of journalist - one who no longer must adhere to one publication but can build up subscriber bases for newsletters of any topic they wish.

Some digital startups meet specific community needs, such as in the South and West side of New York City. Others aim to hold politicians accountable for their policies; some experiments even receive funding through philanthropy.

McCormick Foundation, a nonprofit foundation, is leading the charge to improve local journalism. It has partnered with Chicago newsrooms to research audience and develop strategy through its Metro Media Lab. The McCormick Foundation has also collaborated on developing their skills with Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism’s Chicago Campus staff.

Chicago residents of all regions feel that their local media could use improvement. Regional variations are notable; certain neighborhoods feel under-represented and misrepresented, and there are gaps in coverage on specific issues such crime and law.

Chicago area news organizations also boast an innovative news ecosystem with both for-profit and nonprofit outlets operating experimental news programs. Some are even working to build trust between journalists and communities by establishing themselves in these neighborhoods and making sure traditionally underserved communities receive coverage in writing as well as voice.

They set out to build an outlet where their community could be heard and also give people ownership over its story. TRiibes' content has been widely distributed on social media.
