Are we experienced?


You'll notice a few changes to the way we display news articles in the coming days.

We will be highlighting the excellent work of our crew of seasoned freelance beat reporters by including a tag line on their articles with a bit of information about their backgrounds. We'll also be changing their bylines to reflect the beats they cover.

For example, Paul Bowker, who produces the best coverage you'll find anywhere of the Chicago Public Schools, will now be credited as "Paul Bowker / Education reporter."

Similarly, we'll be spotlighting the great journalism produced by our volunteer neighborhood reporters by including tag lines that provide a bit of info about them.

First you should fix all the technical problems with your site. Difficult to get to this comment area -- had to click on your name first. Broken image links. Slow loading site overall. Bad layout on one of the "Public Enemies" articles. Site down at times and showing server error messages.

Jack,

As it happens, many of the 'technical problems' you mentioned are related to an upgrade we're pushing through today that will make the site faster, and make more of the content easier to get to. Hope you enjoy.
