We recently received word from the Chicago Headline Club that we've
been awarded $5,000 from the club's Watchdog Fund to pursue a
series of stories on police misconduct.
Needless to say, any grant is a good grant. But this one is
particularly good, because it allows us to spend some time and
effort on a subject that's vitally important to our city.
And it's a first step in what we hope will be a long partnership
with the Richard H.
Driehaus Foundation, which provides the financial backing for
the Watchdog Fund, as well as many other notable Chicago journalism
projects.
