Readers give us so much. You give us your attention, opening the pages of Austin Weekly News, Wednesday Journal, Forest Park Review and Riverside-Brookfield Landmark week after week. You give us your time, sending story tips, attending meetings and telling us what you want to know. Many give us something more–a donations.
Because we’re in the business of information, we ask for feedback. Our donation form asks why you give, and this year, one reader answered, “I believe in you.” Those four simple words encapsulate what every reader who gives to local news is saying: this work matters, and it should last.
We believe in you, too. NEWSWELL Chicago is the nonprofit, reader-supported news organization behind these four trusted local publications. We believe in delivering independent, fact-based, human-centered reporting that holds public officials accountable, celebrates our neighbors and keeps our communities connected and informed.
Your gift supports local journalists and helps ensure our communities continue to benefit from strong, independent local news. This season, donate to your local newsroom at wednesday-journal.fundjournalism.org/newswellchicago
