About grassroots journalism

We think the best people to report on a neighborhood's news, events and culture are people that live there. The Daily News is always looking for reporters from every neighborhood in Chicago.

As Daily News volunteer neighborhood reporter, you'll cover development, politics, crime, community organizations, local arts, and everything in between.

We are happy to work with people of all experience levels. Daily News reporters work with one of our editors to develop their reporting, writing, and photography skills. We also host free monthly journalism workshops on topics like interviewing, ethics and basic newswriting
