Chicago News Cooperative

The Chicago News Cooperative is a not-for-profit, Chicago-based cooperative that was created to produce news stories about Chicago for various media organizations. It was formed in November 2009, and currently distributes its content to The New York Times.

History and mission

The Chicago News Cooperative was formed in October 2009 as the brainchild of journalist and author Peter Osnos.[1] The cooperative's staff includes its editor and co-founder, former Chicago Tribune managing editor (and former Los Angeles Times editor) James O'Shea; its general manager and deputy editor, former Chicago Tribune business columnist David Greising; former Chicago Tribune city hall reporter Dan Mihalopoulos, former Omaha World-Herald reporter Katie Fretland, former Chicago Tribune feature writer Don Terry and former Chicago Tribune sports editor Dan McGrath.[2] Its advisory board includes former Chicago Tribune editor Ann Marie Lipinski, while former Chicago Tribune managing editor for features James Warren is a regular columnist.[1]

In November 2009, the cooperative started providing the content for a twice-a-week, two-page section in the Chicago edition of The New York Times.

The cooperative currently is funded primarily by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.[3]

The Chicago News Cooperative operates out of the offices of WTTW-TV in Chicago.[3]
