Feder: Support grows to save Chicago Reporter
Posted October 22, 2020 1:00 am
A chorus of powerful voices has joined the outcry over the survival of The Chicago Reporter, Robert Feder writes.

The fate of the 48-year-old investigative news organization has been in limbo since Fernando Diaz was ousted as editor-in-chief and publisher.
The loss of the Reporter "would leave the metropolitan area without crucial reporting and data that we rely upon in our efforts for equity and justice," the letter said.
