Ever wondered how the different regions of Chicago feel about news coverage of their neighborhoods? There has been very little scientific data on the issueโ€”in particular, there are few contemporary studies that examine this transitional time in the local media landscape. That is, until now.

With input from City Bureau, the Center for Media Engagement surveyed a representative sample of 900 Chicagoans to explore the attitudes toward, and preferences for, Chicago news media across three regionsโ€”South, West and North/Central. The resulting report reveals plenty of new, quantifiable information about the ways Chicagoans think of media engagement, representation and public financial support for mediaโ€”all based on thoughts and experiences from a diverse range of real Chicagoans.

Join us, the Center for Media Engagement and our local partners for the launch of the Chicago News Source Survey followed by a guided discussion and small group sessions aimed at addressing inequity, creating solutions and building a stronger media ecosystem in Chicago.
