Feder: Ken Davis closing down 'Chicago Newsroom'

"Chicago Newsroom," the weekly roundtable of local journalists and newsmakers, is bowing out at the end of May after a nine-year run on Chicago Access Network TV, Robert Feder writes.

For host Ken Davis and his all-volunteer operation, it's been a labor of love since he launched the show on the nonprofit CAN TV public-access channel September 9, 2010 - in the twilight of Richard M. Daley's last term as mayor of Chicago.

"We aired our first show two days after Rich Daley announced he wasn't running again, and we'll end it 10 days after Lori Lightfoot assumes office," Davis said. "So 'Chicago Newsroom' kind of bookended the Emanuel administration, which we talked about almost every week."
